* AmbiguousSituation: Is Hanuš a real, literal alien creature who actually found a kindred spirit in Jakub, or is he meant to be a figment of imagination from Jakub's mind? While the source material apparently indicated Hanuš is real, it is not so clear-cut for the film adaptation. Unlike the source material, no one besides Jakub himself directly acknowledges Hanuš' existence. No one back on earth seemed to bother the two communicating with each other, due to communications between the space station and earth being (conveniently) broken down most of the time. Everything Hanuš said and done could easily be interpreted as Jakub's self-reflection while in isolation. Hanuš' initial departure could be seen as Jakub being conscious of his own self-inflicted pain for the first time, while [[spoiler:Hanuš' eventual death could be seen as Jakub peacefully acknowledging his own guilt which in turn ended his self-reflection]]. On the other hand, the film director (supposed to be the "word of god") claimed that Hanuš is real.
