On a sunny spring day in Rotterdam’s IJsselmonde, two young boys, Gush and Kevin, are just trying to enjoy their childhood. After nearly drowning in the Meuse River, they come out shaken but still laughing. Kevin, already fitting in with the older, tougher crowd, is growing up fast. But Gush still holds on to his dream: he wants to be an astronaut. When his soccer ball lands in the yard of his quirky neighbor, Gershwin, he’s about to discover that Gershwin is his future self, back to give him one last weekend to be a kid before life takes over.
