Synopsis: The main character has to move house in his late teens in order to fit in with his father’s job. He really doesn’t want to go, but has no choice. Once at the space station however, he quickly makes some new friends, and they both observe and reflect on the relationships they see. We will talk about how we view our relationships with parents as we get older, and how all parties need to adapt to keep effective communication going.
