A tense, introspective sci-fi thriller about survival and displacement on Mars, where the arrival of strangers threatens a fragile family refuge and forces confrontation with the cost of building a new world.

Remmy and her parents, refugees from Earth, have found peace on the Martian outskirts until strangers appear in the hills beyond their farm. Told as a triptych, the film follows Remmy as she struggles to survive in an uneasy landscape.
