A lighthearted, absurdist comedy about an underachieving suburban dad accidentally launched into space, blending whimsy with themes of unexpected transformation and family.

Ali, a thirty-something from the suburbs, still lives with his mother and his 8-year-old daughter. Lazy and without any particular ambition, he scrapes by doing odd jobs as a fast-food delivery driver. Following a delivery, he finds himself, by a twist of fate, propelled into space aboard the ISS space station. The conquest of space is about to write a surprising and unprecedented chapter in its history...
