Captain Nova (2021) 12

Netherlands | 2021 | 85 min.

When 15-year-old Nas stumbles upon a UFO in the woods, he finds that Captain of the ship, Nova, and her chatty robot ADD are here on a mission. What Nas doesn’t know is that Nova is a scientist from the future, who travelled back in time, ending up in her 12-year-old body. She came to prevent a climate disaster. But nobody takes two kids seriously, so they see no other solution than to kidnap the millionaire who wants to drill into the North Pole.
