Synopsis:

Coronation

Drawing on the worldwide cultural history of birthdays and lunar research, Coronation explores a birthday as a coming of age in a declining civilization living on the moon. In doing so, questions about humanity's future arise. How could the meaning of the word ‘birthday’ change over time? Can someone be 'born' into a purpose? What happens if conscription applies to more than the military?
