SPACE CADET
About the mission to find one’s place in the universe.
Celeste Astridia is an astronaut like her mother Stella. Her first mission is to explore unknown planets. On one such journey, Stella once disappeared; Celeste was raised by a robot nurse who looks after her like a mother – occasionally the two have little competitions to see who can fold more beautiful origami figures. On her journey, Celeste discovers new, strange and also dangerous creatures and finds herself following in her mother’s footsteps, while at home her nurse reminisces about Celeste’s childhood and looks for a new occupation… A cinematic adventure that tells of memories and discoveries, without words in a retro-futuristic world.
