Synopsis

A young immigrant is shot while illegally crossing the border. Terrified, hurt, and in shock, Aryan realizes that he is able to levitate at will. It is then that they are sent to a refugee camp, from which escapes thanks to the help of the cynical and somewhat mysterious Dr. Stern, who wants to exploit in secret his extraordinary gift. Persecuted by Laszlo, the furious director of the camp, they flee and continually move, looking for a way to get safe and get some money to survive in a situation where they are completely alone. Inspired by Aryan's astounding powers, Stern takes a leap of faith in a world where miracles serve as a currency of exchange... The script and the direction of this film come from Kornél Mundruczó.

5.8 The PlaylistNikola Grozdanovic Taking visual inspiration from the likes of 'The Matrix' and 'Inception', 'Jupiter?s Moon' might very well go down as so-bad-it?s-good B-movie camp. Read
