French woman and astronaut Sarah has been chosen to go on a mission to a space station, in preparation for a future landing on Mars. She was only chosen at the very last minute to join the crew, so it is all very exciting but also a challenge to keep up with her male colleagues (She is the only female on the team!)
Sarah desperately tries to balance—the love for her young daughter Stella, with her ambition of becoming an astronaut and to see the space she's dreamed of ever since she was a young child. It is a very exciting event in her life. Â
Although her daughter Stella is proud of her mother, she is afraid of the seperation, she fears what could happen if her mother doesn't return home again.
Her mother and her father (Thomas) no longer live together as a family and while her mother is away Stella will stay with her father. Awaiting the return of her mother.
One of her male work colleagues is not too happy about having a woman as part of the team and doubts her capabilities. He had wanted another male astronaut to be in the crew, who is more experienced. However, when he sees how hatd working Sarah is and how well she does her job, he begins to warm to her and sees that she is capable of doing the job.
Sarah is heart broken when Stella and Thomas miss their flight, this could be her last opportunity to see her little girl in person before leaving the earth.
By happy coincidence Sarah and Stella are still able to see each other for a final time, but unfortunately this time it is through a pane of glass, as Sarah is in quarantine. Stella reminds her mother , that she had promised they would be able to see the rocket she was leaving on, but that Sarah had broken her promise.Â
Sarah has a pang of guilty conscience and decides to sneak out of quarantine, she awaken the sleeping Stella and takes her to view the rocket early in the morning.
The final scene of the countdown is dramatic and emotional. Sarah has a photograph next to her of her daughter. Stella and her father are there watching the take off. He is tearful and Stella is smiling happily. As the rocket blasts off successfully on it's flight into space.
It is a dramatic film, heart warming, with an interesting challenge for the woman and her family, as she realises her longtime dream of travelling in Space.
