Celeste, a young astronaut, embarks on her very first solo mission into space. Back on Earth, her inseparable childhood friend – a guardian robot – suddenly faces the emptiness of having no one left to care for. What unfolds is a poetic journey about loneliness, connection, and the search for a place in the universe.
