Following a prison sentence that permanently estranged him from his daughters, Laurence Burton fabricates a new life in a secluded spot in the Tabernas Desert alongside his second wife, Brie. Isolated from the world, this outsider dedicates himself to building a flying saucer propelled by gyroscopes, using 100% renewable energy. A group of British retirees helps him realize his dream. In this unique setting, Laurence embodies the figure of a man inspired by science who seeks something beyond. This is the story of Laurence's final attempt and his companions to test their theories, as well as the journey of a man trying to find his place in the world and to piece together his personal history.
