Earth to Michael

Before an astronaut leaves Earth to usher in a new era of spaceflight, his son asks him to explore the unresolved space between them. Michael last went to space when Nico was six. During his time in orbit, their family broke apart. Although Michael returned to Earth, he never came home. Now he’s headed back to space, 15 years later. Can Nico bridge the distance before he leaves? Equal parts interstellar and intimate, this coming-of-age story confronts two men of different generations, asking us what sacrifices we’ll make for our loved ones to achieve their dreams.
