YURI

Chris Dolo is a technical engineer for Aqua-Space, a company involved in several polemics about the privatization of drinking water and the lack of it everywhere. He is also the father of Yuri Dolo, an 11-year-old genius with a passion for astrophysics who dreams of another life in the stars. As we follow our two characters in their daily lives, affected by the absence of a maternal figure, a supernatural presence seems to be watching them.
