Subject

16-year-old Eleni navigates womanhood in modern America while attempting to build the perfect rocket.

The film centres on teenage Eleni, who, in addition to facing the usual challenges of adolescence, dreams of building rockets. It tells the story of how a young person develops an interest in science and a desire to discover the laws of physics and mathematics. At the same time, it shows how the teenage girl succeeds in a highly competitive and often male-dominated field.

In life, you have to stay true to yourself and overcome many social taboos to realise your dreams. Fortunately, Eleni believes in herself!
