For the last six months, the astronaut Jakub has been on a lonely space mission to the very edge of the solar system. He gradually becomes aware that his wife may no longer be waiting for him when he returns to Earth. Determined to save his marriage at all costs, in his time of desperation, he unexpectedly receives help from an alien being. Together with Hanuš, the name of the creature that has lived since the beginning of time and who is hiding deep in the bowels of the astronaut’s spaceship, Jakub tries to work out what has gone wrong in his relationship and how he can win his wife back. The film is based on the novel “Spaceman of Bohemia” by Jaroslav Kalfar.
