With life on earth fading to a whisper, Carlos and Aitana are faced with a decision, monumental and world-altering, about what they are prepared to sacrifice to cleave to life. While in the margins of their story there slowly forms a portrait of what life looks like after earth - of our shared fate among the stars.
