Hold on tight! You're about to take part in an epic journey through space, time, and cinematic genres. Giving free rein to his boundless imagination, Chinese director Yang Li signs an unidentified filmic object with unbridled staging. From animation to sci-fi to action film, the film follows the cosmic peregrinations of three childhood friends who are propelled twenty years into the future with each sneeze. Between the desire to change their destiny for some, or to experiment with it for others, our three companions will have to strengthen their bonds to overcome many trials and perhaps save their world. An extravagant, audacious, and unique experiment.
