To change her clients' lives, astrologer Luciana sends them to a place where the stars agree to give them a new birth. An unusual documentary on destiny.
Were you born under a lucky star? If not, Peter Kerekes is back with a work that could well remedy all your problems! Continuing his exploration of the documentary genre, the Slovak director innovates by fictionalizing his evocation of the atypical work of Luciana de Leoni D'Asparedo, in which each of the participants plays his or her own role. To revive them and give them a fresh start in life, the astrologer finds a personalized destination where the stars can influence the travelers. Carried by an exquisite sense of humor and a heightened sense of aesthetics, the narrative ventures to the frontiers of fiction, the better to amaze and develop a reflection on destiny.
