synopsis

Max is six years old and is discovering the world. His older brother, Billy, doesn't understand the world very well, but he does know a lot about space. When the two brothers set out to send a message into space, things don’t go as planned.
Max a six ans et découvre le monde, avec son frère aîné Billy. Billy ne comprend pas très bien le monde, mais il en sait beaucoup sur l'espace. Les deux frères ont l'intention d'envoyer un message dans l'espace, mais les choses ne se passent pas comme prévu.
Max is zes en ontdekt samen met zijn grote broer Billy de wereld. Billy begrijpt de wereld echter niet zo goed, maar weet wel heel veel over de ruimte. Op een dag besluiten ze om hun eigen boodschap de ruimte in te sturen, maar de dingen lopen anders dan ze hadden gedacht.
