AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This drama 'tells the story of a young man's journey though the Russian cosmonaut program in the 1970s. As his fellow comrades watch the Cold War draw a global line between East and West, young Omon has his eyes firmly set on the moon. To get there he ventures through the illogical world of a communist space academy with friends made under the weary hand of Mother Russia. Like all great Russian stories things are not always as they seem, even on the surface of the moon.' http://www.theprogram.net.au/giveawaysSub.asp?id=600&state_id= (Sighted 27/01/2006)
