Stardust is a programme presented as a movie and belongs to the fantasy adventure genre. It blends a historical setting with imaginative elements, offering a story that steps beyond everyday reality. The work is a single‑piece narrative rather than a series, inviting viewers to experience a world where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. The plot follows a shop assistant from Victorian England who discovers a gateway to a fantastical realm. Motivated by his love for the girl he cherishes, he sets out on a quest to recover a fallen star. His journey through this otherworldly landscape is driven by the desire to present the celestial object to his beloved, hoping it will win her heart. The film juxtaposes the rigid social atmosphere of 19th‑century England with the limitless possibilities of a magical domain, combining period elements with high‑fantasy adventure. By focusing on a humble merchant’s love‑driven mission, the story highlights the lengths a person will go for love, using the star‑search as the central device that propels the narrative forward. Throughout the adventure, the protagonist confronts the strange rules of the other realm while remaining driven by his affection. The quest for the star serves as both a literal and symbolic pursuit, tying his ordinary life to the extraordinary.
