Michael Beard, a once-brilliant Nobel Prize-winning physicist, finds his career on a downward spiral as he coasts on his prior successes. He speaks for hefty fees and leads an uninspired initiative on global warming, while his personal life is in shambles with his fifth marriage on the brink of collapse due to his chronic infidelity. In a darkly comic twist of fate involving a freak accident, Beard is presented with a chance to reconcile the failings of his private affairs, revive his career, and possibly offer a solution to the world's environmental crisis. 'Solar' is a witty exploration of one man's profound failings and the complexities of human morality amidst the looming backdrop of climate change.
