A small asteroid fragment falls into the backyard of Aurora’s house before the little girl goes to school. She is convinced that it was her father who sent the fragment in an attempt to make contact with her. At school, during a presentation on her parents’ profession, Aurora surprises her friends and teacher by telling them that her father works as an asteroid hunter in space. At break time, Augusto teases Aurora in front of the other children by saying that her father doesn’t hunt asteroids but is dead under the mud of an ore dam. Augusto’s words provoke an explosion of fury in little Aurora and a fight that has to be broken up by the teacher in the schoolyard. Convinced that her father is nearby and that she needs a telescope to communicate with him, Aurora trades a small gold necklace – a gift from her father when she was born – in exchange for a powerful telescope. When her mother finds out about the trade, she is very angry with the girl. Firstly, for having made the trade and then for her insistence on not accepting her father’s death. Aurora is grounded. At the first light of dawn, mother and daughter are awoken by a loud crash: a large asteroid has fallen in front of Aurora’s house. <\/p>\n\n
