As Jakub grapples with the realization that his marriage may be in jeopardy, an unexpected ally emerges in the form of a “mysterious creature from the beginning of time” (voiced by Paul Dano) on his spacecraft. This extraterrestrial being, reminiscent of a giant spider, offers to help Jakub navigate his marital issues.

Together, they work to unravel the complexities of Jakub’s failing marriage before it’s too late.”
