Despite their different aspirations, backgrounds, and origins, Ilyasse and Pauline, scientists in their early twenties, share one common dream: escaping to the moon to address Earth’s problems. Each of them dedicates all their resources and efforts to achieve this goal. But what if space was political, and what if dreaming was too?
