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!
