(One day - Planet Earth - Family Vacation)
 
J.E.T. arrives, with his family, on planet earth. Father goes off to other interests and the four other family members travel from the desert, over Las Vegas, and finally to Los Angeles. We see J.E.T. as a happy young spaceship, with too much energy to follow simply his mother. He is a cute little scamp -- open for everything. The family is more in a conservative mood. They are traveling as an educational experience only. J.E.T. has other plans and becomes lost in downtown L.A.
 
He realizes this quickly and begins searching, half thinking that it is a game -- half in mild panic. During that search, he loses his voice based on fear -- the sound he makes to call and answer his mother -- and so she cannot hear him when he can only make a dull noise. He is alone and lost.
 
During his long search, he reaches a house where something looks familiar and having no better option available, he finds a Kitchen Aid mixer (Aida K.). This one is very sad -- doing the job and that is it.
 
Both have a completely different method of communicating but, even sad, J.E.T. manages to get her to communicate with him. Then something magical happens, based on a new trust and feeling of friendship. What has been created -- and if Aida K. or J.E.T. did it -- is up to the audience to decide. The fact is that it gives him his voice back just in the moment he hears his mother calling. 
 
Not all of that has taken away his happy-go-lucky attitude -- the opposite is the case: he can share something wonderful now with his family. The smallest in the family has the biggest win from that day.  However, and more importantly, he shares it.
 
It is a movie about different cultures, being open to and finding the language of the heart. Staying in communication is the practical wonder that we all need, every day.
