A novice teacher and his students overcome generational gaps and local crises to achieve the miraculous dream of developing space-certified canned mackerel.
Fifteen years after Asano first stepped into the classroom, the miracle happens: JAXA officially certifies their canned mackerel as an authentic Japanese Space Food! The canned food is scheduled to be launched to the ISS aboard a resupply cargo spacecraft from the JAXA Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima. Former students from all generations, fellow faculty members, local fishermen, and townspeople gather to watch the rocket ascend into the night sky, celebrating the dream that connected an entire community from the coast of Fukui to the stars.
