Martin is a boy who lives in a small village near Kutina. The beginning of the film follows his search for a pair of glasses from outer space. He finds them and uses them at school to do well at tests and examinations. Somewhere between dreams and reality, in a dimension unknown to man, a dimension on the verge of shadows, a girl enters in his life. Her name is Zoe. They fall in love. Due to its abstract nature, the film is multi-dimensional, allowing for an individual interpretation of the story, particularly its ending. It is atmospheric, detail-oriented and full of fairy tale elements.

Original Language

কুতিনার অদূরে ছোট্ট একটি গ্রামে মার্টিন নামের এক ছেলের বসবাস।মহাশূন্যের একজোড়া চশমার সন্ধানে মার্টিনের অভিযানের মধ্য দিয়েই শুরু হয় সিনেমার গল্প। সেই জাদুকরী চশমার উপর ভর করে সে স্কুলের পরীক্ষায় ভালো করতে থাকে। স্বপ্ন ও বাস্তবতার এমনই এক মাত্রায় মার্টিনের জীবনে আসে জো নামের এক মেয়ে। একসময় তারা একে অন্যের প্রেমে পড়ে যায়।গল্পটি আগাতে থাকলে চলচ্চিত্রটি তার বহুমাত্রিক বাস্তবতা ও বিমূর্ত প্রকৃতির কারণে দর্শকের কাছে ভিন্ন ভিন্ন ব্যাখ্যা দাঁড় করায়।
