Summaries

Storyline

Teenager Youri (Alséni Bathily) has dreams of becoming an astronaut but must first battle to save his housing project home from demolition. This is a powerful story of class, race, imagination and wonder, that allows audiences to share Youri's dreams of space and weightlessness. This film will make souls soar and hearts beat faster, as it races towards its nail-biting finale. Inaugurated in 1963 and named after the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin , Cité Gagarine, a massive redbrick housing project in Ivry-sur-Seine, France, is the place bright-eyed, space-loving 16-year-old Youri calls home. However, after nearly sixty long years of use, the place has become inhospitable, dangerous, and above all, beyond repair. Now, facing evacuation and total demolition within six months, Youri embarks on a Quixotic mission to fix up the building. But can starry-eyed Youri and his friends prevent the inevitable? — Nick Riganas
