Plot summary
The year 2012 ends with a planetary alignment and a total eclipse over Earth, and the eight Creators of the Galactic Council meet to discuss what the alignment will bring. Each Creator governs a planet, and each is responsible for a lens, the crystal core in which the history, DNA and memories of a species are recorded. Rebellion on Earth costs the council control of the lens that holds the record of humanity, and the object is hidden somewhere in Italy, with many looking for it. Sofy, who was taken from Earth by aliens when she was a child, is given the job of finding the lens. Lady Airre, a warrior, is sent by the council to capture the one who rebelled.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In 2025 private investors who had helped fund the film filed a complaint against director Piergiuseppe Zaia, co-writer and star Eleonora Fani and the banker who organized the fundraising, saying they had been defrauded; the investors said the film never had a proper distribution plan.
- Director Piergiuseppe Zaia said in January 2021 that he and Eleonora Fani were working on a second instalment of the planned trilogy despite the film's aborted release; his production company Artuniverse was liquidated in December 2023 for lack of revenue, and in 2025 he said he was no longer involved in filmmaking.
- The film gained minor "cult" status in Italy once it was available again, thanks to its conspiracist content; a reviewer had noted that the story alluded to all sorts of conspiracy theories, as shown by the cameo of author Mauro Biglino.
- After the film's 2020 release, its co-writer and star Eleonora Fani built a following on YouTube and Telegram with videos that appeared to take the film's ideas seriously, including ancient astronaut theories, and later posted content praising Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and promoting QAnon-influenced conspiracy theories.
- The city and province of Biella were actively involved in making the film, providing locations and funding, and the involvement of Gérard Depardieu reportedly played an important role in winning support from public authorities there.
