In the 28th century, due to cooperation between the Earth’s countries (beginning with the ASTP of 1975) and extraterrestrial peoples, the former International Space Station has been expanded until its mass threatens to cause it to fall out of orbit. En route to a mission, Valerian dreams of a planet, Mül, where a low-tech humanoid race lives peacefully.

“I've heard so many stories about directors not even reading the books that the movies are based on.”
