• Based on an early novel by Stanislaw Lem (author of "SOLARIS"), it details the journey (in the year 2163) of a group of space colonists who are exploring Alpha Centari for signs of intelligent life in the universe. The trip will take them 2 years, but 15 years will have gone by on earth. The crew has to deal with the emotional reality that much of the lives of their loved ones will have changed dramatically. Additionally, the crew's own interpersonal relationship are mutating. The longer they go, the stranger the trip gets. During their perilous journey the crew confront the effects of a malignant dark star, the destructive legacy of the 20th century and, ultimately, the limits of their own sanity.
