Storyline
The 1960s world is the golden age of space technology. Nikita is the sort of young man who dedicates his prime to his country’s space institute. He thinks he can risk anything to be selected as the next cosmonaut, both for the glory and his own ambition – to see the far end of the moon with his own eyes.
This is when he meets Anya, the love of his life. Anya is expressive and lyrical where Nikita is stoic and aloof, and soon he finds himself spending the best times with her. Life seems to be going well and full sail when Nikita gets selected among the air force as a cosmonaut trainee. Anya has a tiny musical dream of her own, but she always places Nikita’s first.
The failure of the last space mission casts shadows to the future of the lovers. Nikita is determined to fly the spaceship, and it is also too late to withdraw when the nation looks onto your success. Anya believes there is bound to be a way-out, where it might require the two of them to risk their lives to reach this ending. Nikita does not waver, and Anya leaves alone.
Nikita pilots the spaceship with unsolved emotions. Pangs of regret make him rethink.
