Synopsis:
(Texto en castellano abajo.) "Trip to the Red Planet" is a portrait of how laughter can make anyone fly, even in the most difficult of situations. 'Clowns Without Borders' is an international non-profit organisation whose principal objective is to bring laughter to refugee communities, mainly consisting of children who have been victims of natural disasters or war conflicts. The film follows the organisation on an expedition to the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon in March 2010. The film is not intended as a standard documentary, but instead it is an attempt to portray the complex situation that the Palestinian refugees live under. The impact of the organisation is seen through the imagination and the laughter it brings to these children. The trip serves to break borders and boundaries and encourages the viewer to travel far and beyond. It serves as an insight into the infinite children's universe that has been suppressed by the war and as a chance to discover 'the Red Planet', the universal planet where children and adults share hope and illusions. --- "Viaje al planeta rojo" es un retrato sobre cómo la risa puede hacernos volar, incluso en las situaciones más difíciles. "Payasos sin Fronteras" es una asociación internacional sin ánimo de lucro cuyo objetivo principal es realizar expediciones y llevar la risa a las personas, especialmente niños y niñas, desplazadas y refugiadas por conflictos de guerra o catástrofes naturales. En este documental tomamos como ejemplo la expedición que realizaron a los campos de refugiados palestinos de Líbano en marzo de 2010. Pero no pretende ser un documental habitual, sino más bien un retrato expresivo sobre la compleja situación que implica estar refugiado; y sobre los efectos de las acciones de Payasos Sin Fronteras, de la risa y de la imaginación, en la vida e Historia de estos niños y niñas, conjugando varios puntos de vista. A fin de cuentas, este es un viaje por los infinitos universos infantiles que han quedado aislados por culpa de la guerra. Un viaje que romperá sus fronteras y nos llevará con ellos hasta el más allá. Un viaje para descubrir un planeta universal, único y fantástico, el planeta rojo. Un viaje para despertar ese pequeño brillo, inteligente e ilusionado, en los ojos de la infancia, de los niños y de los adultos.
