    • Synopsis
    • Six years old Alya is crossing the Mediterranean Sea on a boat together with her father and dozens of other people who pursue the dream of a better life. When she looks down she sees Mångata: this Swedish word refers to the long, glimmering reflection of the moon on the water, which resembles a shining road. Suddenly a storm sinks the and Alya's father disappears in the dark sea.

      Years later, Alya actually reaches the moon. She has become an astronaut: her mission is to fix a rover, broken inside a lunar cave. Recover the rover and its precious data is vital, but when the communication with the base fails, Alya is lost and alone, inside the dark mazy cave, just like many years before in the Mediterranean Sea. How can she survive in such hostile environment?

      Mångata tells the story of the road we travel to find a place to call home and warn how the earth - our home par excellence - is a delicate and precious planet.
