"In his most recent work, Christian Frei turns to an age-old dream of man: to leave our planet as a "normal person“ and travel into outer space. For 20 million dollars, the American Anousheh Ansari was able to fulfil this childhood dream. This documentary follows her journey into space and shows everyday life as it is on an international space station. This terrific beauty is set in contrast to the crazy trips taken by Kazakh rocket debris collectors in their hunt for the coveted carrot-shaped rocket stages, which literally fall out of the sky and are collected by men with trucks the size of dinosaurs. With breathtaking images, Space Tourists takes its audience into a fascinating world full of surprises and includes encounters with people we would never expect to meet and places stranger and less known than outer space."
