Summary
"In the early 1960's, a group of students from the Haigazian University led by their mathematics professor, Manoug Manougian, designed and launched rockets to study and understand space exploration. Although the program was successful, it came to a sudden end in 1967 and was erased from the collective memory. Through testimonies and archive documents, the film retraces this adventure and attempts to revive the past in the present as a tribute to the dreamers.''--Container
