SPACE CADET

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.
