César (67), once renowned for witnessing a UFO as a
child, now lives estranged in Capilla del Monte, Argentina.
When a mysterious fire similar to his past happens, the
Mayor gives César a mission: to investigate the fire with
his homemade alien decoder. César has purpose again.
His new neighbour Laura (40), a single mother looking for
peace, has joined the spiritual community STOP, drawn by
yoga, meditation, and the promise of a new life. Her son
Felipe (8) finds it boring and is pulled instead to César’s
alien stories. As Laura moves up in the STOP organisation,
working as an architect on an eco-housing project,
Felipe grows closer to César and the locals. Slowly, Laura
becomes aware that the housing project is part of a plan
to turn the town into an exclusive eco-resort for the
“Chosen Ones”, leaving César and the villagers out. Afraid
of losing everything, she holds tighter to STOP even as
her doubts grow. At the annual Alien Festival, the plan is
exposed: STOP’s leader Samura and the Mayor have used
César’s name to spread fear and promote their project.
Betrayed, César’s world falls apart. Laura finally breaks.
She joins César and Felipe to get back at those who used
them, calling the aliens, who come in a surreal ending to
abduct the false prophets as the town unites.
