An animated journey through the solar system. The film vaults forward in time to follow a small group of alien navigators aboard a spaceship on November 22, 2063, in search of a new home. Time is running out for them because before long, their own sun and its planets will die. They have searched hundreds of galaxies looking in vain for a habitable planet. Finally, our own Milky Way is their last chance. We follow the adventures of the six-member scouting party as their search propels them towards Earth.

Length: 16:00
