WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Barry (Green) is an abusive drug-addict who, following his latest heroin binge, is abducted by aliens and forced to take a back seat as an alien assumes control of his body. As the alien takes Barry’s body on a joyride through Cape Town, it experiences the world through Barry’s wild eyes…
