ARIPI is a story about an astronaut who, as a child, dreamed of flying and being free. And now it seems he’s flying in the sky, but actually, he’s locked in the capsule of a spacecraft. One day, minor problems lead to bigger problems, causing the spaceship to lose control and collapse on Earth. Now, the astronaut should once again spread the wings of his dreams and return to childhood.
