action

In 2049, 13-year-old Zenon Kah has lived in a space station with her parents, a research couple, for eight years . The earth sees them as a dangerous place full of disease, earthquakes and pollution . When Zenon is in the corridors during bedtime, she happens to observe the assistant to the space station owner doing a suspicious act. She ignores this when she happens to win a fan competition for her favorite band 'Microbe', where she also meets the band leader 'Protozoa' and is allowed to stand on stage with the band when they visit the station.

But when Zenon again violates the station regulations, she is sent by her parents to her aunt on earth in order to bring her 'to reason'. Her friend Nebula gives her an earring from a mini CD as a goodbye. The assistant recognizes the CD and knows about the danger it poses. Meanwhile, Zeno must try to cope with earth life. Although she nearly burns down her new school and has no money to buy food, she quickly makes friends and allies. With their help, she finds out that the owner of the station wants to blow it up in order to get money from the insurance company. The virus that is supposed to do this is on Zenon's CD.

Zenon wants to go back to the station to save her parents. However, they believe that she only wants to go back because of the concert and deny her a shuttle ticket. However, she manages to fly with her aunt as a stowaway with the band and thus get back to the station. At the last second she can prevent the computer crash and thus the end of the station and save everyone.

criticism

"Science fiction comedy for the whole family, but which is more popular with teenage audiences because of its youthful heroine and fast-paced style."
