When her father is diagnosed with a chronic form of cancer, the young filmmaker takes him on a science-fiction adventure to a distant planet where time stands still.
A planet where time stands still and the laws of nature don't apply swirls through our solar system: Insomnia. When an older artist is diagnosed with cancer, his doctor suggests a holiday on this planet to slow the progression of the disease. With the help of his daughter – a filmmaker – the artist prepares for a grand interplanetary journey. This unique blend of documentary and science fiction was directed by Vita Soul Wilmering and her father, Luuk Wilmering. By spending time together in this cinematic world, they transform their painful reality into an extraordinary space adventure.
