The Martians have landed and they're not to be feared! Or at least that's what TV personality Iron Idem has been telling people. Soon after their arrival, though, his apartment is ransacked and his wife kidnapped. He's tagged like a wild animal and his nightly scripts are being changed. What Idem's eyes are seeing no longer matches what he tells his audience every night. Are the Martians as good-natured as he believed or is he used in sinister plot that endangers the entire planet?

Piotr Szulkin's takes H.G Well's classic sci-fi invasion story and twists it into a tense bizarre, and surreal political allegory.
