Laura Portmann signs up as doctor to join a crew of cargo spaceship. It is year 2270 and due to a virus most of people had to be evacuated from Earth. At least those, who had enough money to move to Rhea, an idyllic world where the human kind started building civilisation on new planet. Laura hopes to get enough money from the journey to join her sister on Rhea. Right now their only way of communication is video messages sent to one another since the signals need long time to get through to Rhea and return. The spaceship is and old tin can with scruffy crew, they are put into state of hibernation with only one crewmember left in turns for 8 months to supervise the flight. Due to recent terrorist attacks one new member joins the crew, Decker, who is secret agent with orders to protect them. During Laura’s watch she notices that there is something whong with cargo hold, while she is checking it she is surprised by Decker, who says he was automatically woken up when she entered the cargo bay. Against his suggestions she wakes up the captain to check what is going on with the cargo, but when they split up during inspection the captain is killed. Rest of the crew is waken up from hibernation and together they try to figure out what is going on. Soon they discover that their cargo is in fact load of boxes with people hibernated in them.
Interesting Swiss science fiction movie that tells story of the dying Earth, from which there is only one way out - migrating to the idyllic Rhea. But the standard cargo journey will unveil few mysteries people should not know about. The pace of the plot is not impressive, but the story itself is rather good and it was made in style of classic sci fi.
