In total darkness the Tribe begins a journey of transformation. Only headlamps they lead their way through a world of weightlessness, suspicion and uncertainty - on the search to find trust in their own individuality and relationship to the group.

The tribe is facing a journey. A journey with no return, no coming back to that place they've been before. A journey that makes the invisible visible, changes perception and transforms individuals. This tribe is, as the definition of a tribe concludes, a compulsory connection by mutual cultural features. How does this connection appear, and which tensions, obstacles and decisions can this fragile bond survive before having to change? On the one hand the connection of the group itself is being tested, on the other hand the role of each individual inside the group is being questioned. How can each member showcase their own needs and wishes inside a group without counteracting the evolvement of the whole group? Together these five creatures start a journey of transformation, which will change them as a whole while still being affected separately.
