[edit]

Cosmonaut follows a young girl named Luciana, who struggles to have her voice heard in a youth communist group dominated by men. She comes up with the platform to mobilize communism in her town by bringing recognition to the Soviet's progress in the space race. As a strong and stubborn female character, she struggles to balance new relationships and her role as her epileptic brother's supervisor.
