Movie description:
In a tough Dublin inner city area, twelve year-old Micky, whose parents died from drugs and AIDS, retreats into fantasy when a meteor falls in the backyard of the house he shares with his sister Sue, brother Dave and grandmother Lily. When the meteor is taken away by astronomer Hugh, Micky is distressed, but Hugh and his girlfriend Carmel befriend the family and the children are taken on a trip to the solar observatory. Pete, the children’s uncle and an occasional drug dealer, feels guilty because he is not able to fulfil the promise to his dead brother to look after the children, and he is under pressure from criminals to pay an old debt.
Micky is a tough, loudmouth but lovable 12 year-old boy who lives with his younger brother and sister at his grandmother’s house. One day, a meteorite lands in his backyard and the kids believe that it was sent down to them by their dead parents (who they believe live up in the stars). The government ships away the rock and sends it to the local university. In the children’s efforts to retrieve the meteor they believe is theirs, they meet a dorky scientist who finds a place in his heart for the kids. Meanwhile, Micky’s parent’s best friend, a drug addict (who had promised the parents to take care of the kids) owes drug dealers money and eventually has to hide out after barely escaping a hit.
