MAJOR TOM REPORTS FROM BASE CAMP LUNAU

Change quick­ly over­w­helms ten-year-old Tom, which is why his fami­ly has deve­lo­ped a series of rou­ti­nes with him over the years to make his ever­y­day life easier. But this fra­gi­le order col­lap­ses when his mother is sent to China as a for­eign cor­re­spon­dent. Together with his older siblings Elmar and Nina, he is sent to live with his chao­tic grand­par­ents in the coun­try until they return. At first, Tom is more than skep­ti­cal about the tem­po­ra­ry move, but at his mother’s sug­ges­ti­on, the space fan turns the stay into a test run for the astro­naut care­er he dreams of. Can “Mission Lunau” be a success?
