UCHRONIA

Two Dark Matter aliens travel from the far reaches of the universe to Berlin, seeking a union that would cause a cosmic catastrophe on their home planet. Earth allows them to incarnate as humans, but their new bodies come with physical, social, and conceptual challenges, entangling them in earthly problems. The film is divided into three chapters, each retelling the story through different cinematic styles, protagonists, and outcomes. An adaptation of the Middle Eastern love legend Layla & Majnun.
