A couple of retired teachers transform an out of use school bus into a mobile home. With the help of a few telescopes, a retiree salary, and a yearning dream, they begin their journey to the most isolated places of Mexico to teach a little astronomy to public schools across the country.
The Journey of the Comet proves that the pure passion for a subject can often lead to remarkably generous endeavors. In this touching portrait of a dream come true, the sensational is withheld to focus on minimal details–witnessing both earthly encounters and celestial explorations.
