The film begins in the spring of 1938,
in the mountains of northern Chile, where a flying object fell, in flames.
Investigation by a film crew uncovers a secret space program developed in
the Soviet Union before World War II. Scientists and military authorities,
the film would have you believe, had developed a spaceship 23 years before
Yuri Gagarin ever went to space.
This movie is distinguished by the
immaculate timing of each scene, meticulous attention to detail, and an amazing
amateur cast (none of the actors has appeared in a film before.
The deadpan voice-over brings out both the humour and the pathos of the surprisingly
moving tragic scenes.
If you know anything at all about the Space
programme or Russia, there's everything to guarantee that you'll love this
film. A unique piece of cinema.
