Twelve-year-old Ulja takes interest in astronomy. However, her way of thinking is at odds with the beliefs and world view of her overbearing grandmother and the local pastor. The clever girl predicts that a small asteroid will soon hit the Earth in Belarus. With the help of a friend, the girl hijacks a hearse and sets off on an adventurous journey through Germany, Poland and Belarus.
