SHORT SYNOPSIS
RoRo, an extraterrestrial being, embarks on a mind-altering journey by consuming an elixir reminiscent of LSD.
Through the stages of human existence, from birth to death, RoRo confronts the harshrealities of pain, disconnection, suffering, darkness, addictions, and the entanglement of negative coping mechanisms and unconscious beliefs.
However, upon awakening, RoRo realizes that this tumultuous experience was merely an illusion, leading to a profound sense of joy and a renewed appreciation for home.
