With playfulness and high authenticity the Paris housing project Gagarine is linked to outer space in critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama about belonging, dreams and resistance. Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh’s directorial debut feature about 16-year-old Youri and his friends and neighbours fighting to save their homes from demolition, was a standout among the films selected but never screened in Cannes when the festival was cancelled in 2020.
