In this hilarious comedy, a corrupt business tycoon sends the first Chilean astronaut into outer space but can't quite come up with the money to bring the adventurer back.  A Spanish teacher, perfectly played by Boris Quercia, is the hapless pilot of the spacecraft sent to the moon.  Things really get out of hand when the United States government gets involved, who believe the spacecraft might be part of a terrorist attack.  This first Chilean astronaut, however, would prefer to reach a woman’s heart rather than the stars.  English sub-titles.


Dans cette comédie tordante, un magnat des affaires corrompu envoie le premier astronaute chilien dans l'espace mais ne réussit pas à rassembler l'argent nécessaire pour le ramener sur Terre. Un enseignant espagnol, joué à la perfection par Boris Quercia, est le malheureux pilote de l'engin envoyé sur la Lune. Les choses se dérèglent véritablement lorsque le gouvernement des États-Unis s'en mêle, croyant que le vaisseau spatial peut faire partie d'un complot terroriste. Mais le premier astronaute chilien préférerait toucher le coeur d'une femme plutôt que les étoiles.
