A beautiful tale of community, friendship and dreaming big. Teenager Yuri lives at Gagarine, a housing project on the outskirts of Paris. He dreams of becoming an astronaut just like his and the building’s namesake, Yuri Gagarin. When the building is condemned for demolition, Yuri, along with his friends Houssam and Diana, embark on creating their own starship. Reality and imagination merge in the Parisian suburbs, as our modern astronaut reminds us what it means to call somewhere home.
