Description
We are at the foot of Mount Hymettus, a mountain in Athens.

A group of young girls and boys have arrived there to experiment with launching small toy rockets. At the beginning, the boys study their design on a piece of paper with instructions, the girls watch happily and we can see the city of Athens in the background. The hood of a car is open since its battery will power the rocket to launch it.

A young man places the rocket at its base carefully, everyone watches the process attentively, a different little flying toy surrounds them, the girls look up, another young man gives power from the battery poles to the rocket's transformer, someone presses its launch button and the rocket after a short, unfortunate course, crashes to the ground. The group bursts out laughing and teasing each other.

Then they prepare another rocket with an attached parachute. They place it on its base and launch it, the fall now, with the parachute, is smoother and slower, everyone watches it happily. At the end they wave at the lens.
