Childish is how the protagonist behaves in the 2013 Hollywood blockbuster, Gravity. After MANAGING her young daughter died from a fall while playing, the protagonist decides she will never touch the ground that took in her daughter. She knew life in space is impossible. So, that’s what she chooses in her quest to run away from the ground reality. To defy the gravity, grave, grief, and ground, she decides to float above everything. However, she finds herself facing another tragedy while in space when the spacecraft malfunctions and her co-astronaut floats into the deep space without oxygen.
