synopsis

Stephan, Sara, Henri and Beatriz are four people who, like tens of thousands of applicants from all over the world, answered an advert for people whod like to visit Mars. Theres only one catch: this mission is one-way only. The Mars One initiative plans to take four astronauts on a mission to Mars within 10 years. The astronauts leave, knowing theyll never see everyone they love again. The documentary portrays aspiring astronauts from around the world, and the founder of Mars One, Bas Lansdorp. His total budget is 6 billion dollars, which he has to achieve by producing a reality TV show live coverage of the mission broadcast over the entire world. The initiative is one of love and hate, admiration and controversy. Since applications opened in 2013, Mars One receives tens of thousands of testimonials from followers every day, but their enthusiasm is matched by others horror at the suicidal idea.
