About the text:
  Homer is a schoolboy in the 1950s who dreams of building rockets. From a small town, Homer does not know how he will make this happen, and it does not help that his father does not believe in him. However, Homer¡¦s determination is inspiring, and the humour makes this an unusual, interesting film.
