This is the story of Muhammed Faris, the first Syrian to go to outer space. He is forced to flee his country, as his ideas for a free Syria make him a target.
Through a mix of interviews and inventive animation, we are offered a glimpse into the mind of a person feeling like they are pushing the boundaries of humanity and being treated as a traitor at the same time.
