Greetings From Mars

Film Synopsis

When his mother has to travel to China, 10-year-old Tom, who finds routine comforting and chaos overwhelming, views a stay with his grandparents as a trial mission to Mars. He dons his astronaut suit, leading his older siblings, and turning the countryside into an intergenerational odyssey of discovery. Tom uses his imagination and unique perspective to bridge generational gaps and cope with change, blending humour with touching moments about neurodiversity and family.
