The story

Sixteen-year-old Loïs, who weighs 100 kilos, dreams of going into space and describes herself as an inhabitant of Jupiter. Despite refusing food and swimming intensely, she cannot achieve the body she wants. After presenting a project to capture upper-atmosphere air to a CNES engineer for a competition, she collapses and wakes in a facility, sharing a room with three other teenage girls who are uncomfortable in their own bodies. The four run away together to reach the competition at the Toulouse Space Centre, where they hope to win a zero-gravity flight.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

At the end of a class, while presenting her project for capturing upper-atmosphere air to a CNES engineer for a competition, she collapses. She finds herself in a facility, sharing a room with three other teenage girls who feel uncomfortable in their own bodies. Together, they run away to take part in Loïs’s competition at the Toulouse Space Centre, hoping to win a zero-gravity flight.
