A light-hearted yet moving documentary about a “man of science” trying to come to terms with the fact that his mother firmly believes that aliens routinely abduct fellow humans. The debate about whether we are alone in the universe has never gotten so personal. Mary Rodwell is Australia’s leading authority on extraterrestrial phenomena, her son Chris Rodwell is a vet, a man of science and self-confessed alien skeptic – their relationship has reached a critical point and something has to give. Mary’s beliefs led to the breakdown of her marriage and left a teenage Chris with some emotional scars, so the topic comes with baggage. Packing nothing but an open mind, Chris has agreed to enter Mary’s world via a road trip traversing Australia in order for her to attempt to convince him that the truth really is “out there” and that aliens exist, or she must never discuss the subject with him again.
