Vladimir and Gedevan, a Russian worker and a Georgian student, find themselves accidentally transported to a barren and desert-like planet ruled by monstrous bureaucracy. After having dismissed the scenario of having landed on a capitalist country, the two of them embark on a surreal journey of repatriation, getting caught up in a series of quirky misadventures. A poignant political parable, drawing inspiration from the Theatre of the Absurd, that mirrors a rigid and irrational regime.
