What if your guide to the cosmos starts to lose his way
Fascinated by her grandad, a famous astronomer, a little girl could listen to his star stories for hours. But one day he starts to forget the constellations and eventually he cant even remember her name. Discover how love can reach across galaxies whether stars shine brightly or grow dim.
