Opening film of the Competition programme – Out of Competition.
In the suburbs outside Paris, teenager Youri dreams of space and becoming an astronaut, eagerly serving as the de facto building repairman of the Cité Gagarine housing project. Unfortunately, the city's redevelopment plans have marked Gagarine for demolition, and Youri finds his multicultural microcosm disappearing as friends and their families get relocated. Unwilling to go down without a fight, Youri will use science and imagination to keep his mothership from launching into space.
"Full of innocence and ingenuity, "Gagarine" combines the stylistic worlds of sci-fi and social realism, reminding us about cinema's power of imagination while beaming down a heartfelt and urgent message about the need to fight for our humanist ideals." (Andrei Tănăsescu)
