Ten-year-old Tom likes rules and relies on strict structures. He doesn’t like the colour red, loud noises, or messes. Tom is autistic. But his passion for space travel helps him find his place in a world where he often feels lost. When he has to spend a month with his brother and sister at their grandparents’ house, Tom will need to learn how to adapt to a new environment – and in the process, discover a strength he never knew he had. This warm coming-of-age comedy has won numerous awards at international festivals.
