"When great people die, they turn into a glowing star up in the sky." There is more to this myth. When the dreams of Gazan youth die, they get sent out to a distant, cold planet. However, every night, and from the top of their homes, Merna and others resuscitate their dreams. They bring Uranus "illegally" with no Visa or travel permission. the film examines the youth's relationship with the cosmos and takes a closer look at a sacred entanglement between women and the sky; an entanglement grew to be special love to the color blue. Gaza and Uranus, two destinations of one childhood, space and no space. Merna succeeds to bring Uranus "illegally" with no Visa, from and to Gaza. But what about her dreams?
