With her best friend Siva, Valarmathi sets out to make actual snow and she’s convinced that her idea is bold, innovative and ribbon worthy.
But just like the early Chandrayaan missions, her experiments don’t always go as planned. In fact, they fail. Spectacularly.
Join Valar on an adventure of chasing BIG dreams, learning from epic flops, and discovering that failure might just be the coolest part of success!
