The earth is reaching a tipping point and the government starts building a giant wall in the sky to hide the truth.

Spencer, who was awarded the Producers Without Borders Award at the Venice Film Festival 2023, shot the film in Zurich and in the Swiss Alps of Maloja. Her two previous features were Little Noises with Crispin Glover, Tatum O’Neal and Rik Mayall, which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for the coveted ‘Grand Jury Prize’, and The Ninth Cloud, with Megan Maczko, Michael Madsen, Jean-Hugues Anglade, and Leo Gregory, which was nominated ‘Best Independent Feature’ at the Chicago Arthouse Festival.
