Astronauts

Daniel is approaching forty. Laura is fifteen... almost sixteen. He has just overcome a long drug addiction and, now back home, he’s trying to reorganize his life based on a strategy, which consists basically in doing exactly what a “normal” person does. He should look after his personal grooming, take care of the small things, immerse himself in the real world... In the midst of all this, Laura arrives searching for her brother Andres, Daniel’s neighbor. But her brother is not home and she decides to wait for him, meanwhile organizing around Daniel what could be his “perfect world”.
