- Synopsis
- Celeste lifelong dream is finally coming true: after years of hard work and dedication, the young Space Academy graduate is about to leave on her first mission – a solitary survey of neighbouring ecosystems that will allow her to further her career as a promising exobotanist.
  
  She leaves behind Robot, the gentle, dedicated mechanical guardian who raised her and proved instrumental in pursuit of her dream. Now that she’s gone, Robot is left only with pointless, empty days… and memories.
  
  Happy that Celeste finally realizes the dream of her life, Robot knows that one day she will return from her mission… Time passes and loneliness weighs on him affecting his aging technological structure.
  
  In space, Celeste faces a more difficult mission than expected.
  
  A dangerous obstacle jeopardizes her mission. As she searches for a way out of trouble, memories of her childhood resurface.
  
  SPACE CADET is an inspiring musical fable about memory, aging and destiny, reminding us that sometimes our memories hold the key to a serene and happy life.
