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?
