Synopsis:
Centuries from now, humanity has spread across the stars, leaving its origins on Earth as distant myth. The crew of the starship Sol Bianca, a band of spacefaring individuals navigating the fringes of colonized space, find their routine disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Mayo, a young girl who has secretly joined their voyage. Driven by a desire to reunite with her parents, Mayo’s presence sets in motion a journey to rediscover Earth – a lost world shrouded in mystery.
The narrative explores themes of belonging and forgotten history as the crew grapples with Mayo's past while charting a course towards a planet steeped in legend. The series blends elements of space opera with character-driven storytelling, focusing on the interpersonal dynamics aboard the Sol Bianca and the unfolding enigma surrounding Earth’s disappearance. Expect a contemplative exploration of identity and legacy within a vast galactic landscape.
