The story of how humans are immigrants from another place, a planet square as a box from which we had to evacuate. We no longer remember the square planet, but keep building square boxes here on Earth. Nora is a rebellious teen-aged girl struggling to find a sense of identity, she is searching for some-one that will understand.

A meteor shower occurs when Earth collides with particles and small stones from space. The dust grains in the Leonid meteor shower burn up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. This is what we call shooting stars. Every 33 years, there is a chance that a meteor shower will cause at least 1,000 star shots per hour.

Sofie is an ordinary Norwegian girl. One day she recieves a video tape on which a certain Alberto Knox talks directly to her from ancient Greece. They then start to meet at different occasions and throughout the film, Alberto takes Sofie on an odyssey of the history of philosophy, from ancient Greece, over the Roman empire, the Middle ages, the renaissance, the enlightenment, the big revolutions and up to today. Throughout this journey, they start to realise that they are only fictions of a story writer's imagination and start conceiving a plan for escaping into reality. (Written by Anders E Lundin )
