Barry is a drug-addled, abusive bastard who - after yet another bender - is abducted by aliens. Barry takes a backseat as an alien visitor assumes control of his body and takes it for a joyride through Cape Town. What follows is an onslaught of drugs, sex, and violence as our alien tourist enters the weird and wonderful world of humankind.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Ryan Kruger expanded this from a 2017 short film; Gary Green has played Barry in every iteration since 2010.
Shot entirely in Cape Town, the film weaponizes the city's overlooked spaces—turning tourist-brochure South Africa into a neon-soaked hellscape.
