Synopsis:

Set against a backdrop of modern Earth in 2018, this story follows 21 Emon, a young man torn between aspirations of space exploration and familial duty.

With Earth now a popular destination for interstellar tourists, the family's fortunes hinge on maintaining their historical establishment’s reputation. The narrative explores themes of tradition versus ambition, and the challenges of adapting to a rapidly changing world.
