Ignored by her son, mistreated by her sister, and with her days as a beloved schoolteacher behind her, Celeste García sits idly as the days of her drab workaday life pass by, her only bit of happiness coming from her job as a guide at the famous Havana Planetarium. But when the government reveals that aliens from the planet Gyrok have been living in Cuba and are ready to return the favor by taking select citizens back to their home planet, she unexpectedly finds herself chosen to make the intergalactic trek alongside failed musician Hector Francisco, husband-hunting Perlita, and insomniac butcher Augusto. Soon Celeste finds herself face-to-face with the joys and fears of renewal — and her own long buried secret — in this warm, funny directorial debut by acclaimed screenwriter Arturo Infante that proves you don’t always have to travel to a distant galaxy to find yourself (but it helps).

In competition for the CV Cine Award.
