About

In this fantastical documentary, the ten-year-old brother of two Kosovan refugees diagnosed with coma-like ‘resignation syndrome’ embarks on a magical escape mission to Mars.

Dea Gjinovci’s documentary debut takes a unique approach to exploring the relentless uncertainty faced by a family of Kosovan refugees awaiting asylum in Sweden. Laced with elements of magical realism, the film blurs the boundaries between science and fiction; both the resignation syndrome and the voyage to Mars become symbolic representations of the family’s desire to escape.
