Involuntary Prometheus

The film tells about the activities of rocket scientist Ilya Stafievsky, who methodically embodied the youthful dream of flying to Mars.  In the character of a fictional hero, the features (as well as individual facts of the biography) of a real space dreamer, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, sometimes appear. The visual fabric of the painting uses graphics from the books of futurists and geeks: Velimir Khlebnikov, Igor Terentyev and Ilya Zdanevich. Despite the absurdist tone, the film shows sincere admiration for the courage and perseverance of the discoverers in science and art.
