Synopsis:

Late '50s to early '60s, when the space war between the Soviet and US was fiercely going on, a fifteen-year-old member of the communist party, Luciana, develops her ideals while living with her bourgeois stepfather, and among male chauvinists in a communist group in Rome. Her only friend is her brother Arturo, who dreams of going to space but is unable to do so due to his epilepsy.

Brother and sister Arturo and Luciana are die-hard communists, following the progress of the space race together, urging on the Soviet cosmonauts. As they grow up, their relationship gets complicated when Luciana starts going out with boys and is ashamed of her odd brother who shows no signs of growing up, possibly because of his epilepsy.

It was the years of the Space Race. As capitalist America and communist Russia compete for ideological pre-eminence through the conquest of the heavens, in Italy 15-year-old Luciana, fascinated by the proletariat who were launching their ideas beyond Earth, grows up in the Communist Party and struggles to affirm her feminine identity.
