Eight-year-old Pottan is going to summer camp, but by mistake she ends up at a recycling centre with some very peculiar characters. Reluctantly, they take care of Pottan, who soon discovers their secret. Behind a tall fence, they are working on a homemade space rocket... Comedy, adventure and unexpected friendships await, as Pottan becomes the first ever eight-year-old in space.

Certificate number	203944
Date	2016-09-20
Classification	Suitable for all audiences
Notes	DCP.
Grounds for decision	Trots att framställningen innehåller vissa inslag av barn i utsatta situationer, bl.a. i form av en flicka som överges av sina föräldrar, så bedöms filmens komiska och äventyrliga karaktär samt huvudpersonens mod och handlingskraft mildra filmens oroande effekt. Framställningen bedöms inte vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn.
