Synopsis

Erika Brücken, a German filmmaker, and her team make a documentary about astronomical research in southern Spain. Upon arrival in Granada, they are received by a popularizing researcher who will act as a guide throughout their stay. This work of a strictly scientific nature is becoming, due to certain encounters with various researchers -among them Enrique, a singular astrophysicist who presents a progressive visual disability that will shortly lead to blindness-, in the central reason of the film: Trying to reach a higher level of reflection on the big question: What is LIGHT...?

A vital, multidisciplinary and highly heterodox review: A true initiation journey, full of proposals, reflections, doubts and many unresolved answers about LIGHT as an incredible source of scientific information that should allow us to answer: Where do we come from? And, above all: Really, what are we made of...?
