Himmelwärts

On a starry summer night, Toni and her best friend YumYum try to contact her deceased mother using a homemade device. She must be somewhere, after all, no energy is lost in the universe. Instead, an astronaut from outer space answers them. Together they philosophize about the infinite, mysterious expanses of the universe and the big questions of life.
