Short film about a boy whose mother died. His father told him that she was in the stars. Vasco (the boy), after watching the Apollo 11 launch, decided that if he built a spaceship, he could get his mother back.
It's a story about the search for something that's gone, about overcoming the absence of someone and about the imagination of a child.
