At the height of the Cold War, a Soviet spacecraft crash lands after a mission gone awry, leaving the commander Konstantin Sergeyevich as its only survivor. Tatiana Yurievna, a controversial Russian psychologist, is brought in to evaluate Konstantin’s mental state, and it soon becomes clear that something dangerous may have come back to Earth with him.

Egor Abramenko, an award-winning director of commercials and music videos, delivers a fresh and exciting addition to the interplanetary monster-movie canon. The sci-fi film, with its massive scale and brutal carnage, was shot at the Russian Academy of Sciences founded in 1959, giving it an authentic Soviet feel.
