Starlite

Synopsis 

A scientist, with the insurmountable desire and a singular quest of reaching the stars is making a rocket to send him into his lover's arms high in the heavens above. Inventing a new type engine that runs on music, he powers his rocket into orbit. It is story of desire and the sacrifice to satisfy it. It is the rational acting irrational by risking all, for even that brief moment among the heavens in ecstasy and oneness with existence.
