    • Synopsis
    • Barry is a lowlife, drug-addicted father and husband living in a middle-class nightmare. After yet another bender, Barry is walking home in the dead of night and gets beamed up into an alien spacecraft. He’s subjected to unimaginable procedures and his body becomes possessed by an alien visitor.
      The alien takes Barry’s body for a joyride through the strangest and darkest avenues of Cape Town, South Africa.
      Along the way, he learns about the weird and unforgiving world of humankind.
      In the style of a road movie injected with LSD, Barry wanders from place to place getting into all kinds of mischief – ranging from the whimsical to the deranged: from smoking meth and going to a rave, to being subjected to brutal torture and saving the lives of a dozen children.
      The alien is forced to leave Earth when Barry’s body begins to deteriorate due to the abuse endured on his intense journey. The alien returns to his ship however not without taking Barry and those around him on a ride they will never forget
