Luciana is an Italian astrologer, she believes that life is affected by the position of the constellations at the moment of our birth. If we want to change our life, it is enough to visit a place with a favorable constellation on our birthday: the day on which we get the opportunity to be “born again” every year. Many people contact Luciana about their problems, the film follows their stories and birthday trips. Beneath the humorous mood, this film is an empathetic search for meaning in a chaos-filled cosmos.
Peter Kerekes

Born in 1973, Košice, Slovakia, Peter Kerekes has directed many award winning documentaries. Although he initially wanted to direct fiction films, his first documentary about the Slovak poet Erik Groch swayed his interest towards this form of film expression. Since 2003, he has been working with the same consolidated creative team: Martin Kollar as DOP, and Marek Sulik as editor. His filmography includes documentaries such as “Velvet Terrorists” (2013.) and “Cooking History” (2009).
