When his mother unexpectedly has to go on a work assignment to China, 10-year-old Tom Tom— an autistic boy who loves space and who often wears his astronaut suit during challenging moments—is sent to his grandparents' house in the country with his two older siblings. To help him cope with the change, his mother gives him a logbook and encourages him to treat it as a mission to Mars, which leads him to a remarkable discovery. Through animation, the film invites audiences into Tom’s unique perspective, exploring neurodiversity, coping with change, and the bonds of family. Age 8+
If your children are unable to read subtitles, they can still watch the film. Subtitles will be read aloud through headphones by a professional voice over artist.
