Lying on what looks like an expansive stretch of sand with rolling sandy hills in the distance, an injured man tries to sort out what's going on. He sees a kid playing with a toy helicopter who tells him about his passion for all things that fly. The man thinks back to the time he had snorkeled in the Grenadines, and remembers that on his way back to shore he had begun panicking. He feels that same panic now. His mind races to the time he rescued two scuba divers but ended up with the bends. The kid leaves without the man noticing, but the man is comforted by his footprints in the sand. The man counts the minutes trying to calculate the cycle of the satellite that's orbiting around him. From afar, the man sees a kind of aircraft crash into the sand. From it emerges another man, stumbling before being buried in the sand. Suddenly, he realizes that he is that man, that he and the kid are one and the same, and that he's made it to Mars.
