Nel 2034, una mummia di cinquemila anni riemerge da un ghiacciaio in scioglimento sulle Dolomiti. Sul petto, un particolare sconcertante: un terzo occhio che si muove. Un organismo alieno o una tecnologia sconosciuta?

Ma il regista, Mic Vitali, è scomparso dalla scena da decenni. Possibile che avesse intuito una verità che resta inafferrabile per la scienza?
