Plot

In the exhilarating universe of the 11-year-old prodigy Jim, space and science reign supreme. Uprooted to an unfamiliar town alongside his father, he finds himself plunged into a stirring young scientist competition. His partner in this cosmic journey is Emma, a reserved yet intuitive girl. Despite her initial hesitations, Jim persuades her to recreate the iconic 'Excelsior' endeavor, a daring project that propelled the first man to the cusp of space in 1960, using a genuine air balloon they contrive in secrecy. At the heart of this celestial quest lies the influence of his father, Graham, an esteemed astrophysicist poised for an impending space venture. Since the tragic loss of Jim's mother, this project has evolved into a beacon of hope for him. However, when he learns of his father's unspoken surrender, his world spirals into disarray. The once playful competition mutates into a relentless obsession, pushing Jim to demonstrate a fortitude his father lacked. Emboldened by a determination to never capitulate, Jim challenges Emma beyond her boundaries, immersing her in an expedition that inevitably forges an unbreakable bond between them. SpaceBoy (2021) is a compelling tale about resilience, friendship, and the infinite allure of the cosmos.
