Yevgeni is a young space technician. His dream is to travel through space, yet his job consists in working in a cosmodrome. During the particularly complex launch of an inhabited Soyuz shuttle, Yevgeni brutally falls unconscious, causing the loss of contact with Vlad, the astronaut in orbit, and the explosion of his spacecraft. Haunted by this disaster, Yevgeni gradually loses touch with reality.
