Plot Summary
This film is a
mockumentary about a fictional, top-secret SovietIntercosmos mission based out of East Germany. Two ships are sent out to set up both an industrial colony onSaturn 's moon Titan and a recreational colony onJupiter 's moon Ganymede. The film covers the background of the mission, as well as several radio conversations between the leaders of the two separate colonizing missions, the femaleSeagull and the maleFalcon , who are implied to be in a romantic relationship. Besides colonizing the two moons, part of the mission is also to set up an archive ofSocialist culture within the vacuum of space. For reasons not explained within the film, the mission fails, and all records of it are either destroyed or hidden away. However, the last scene reveals Seagull and Falcon to be still alive, as they converse about other failed secret Soviet space missions, most of which resulted in the demise of the entire crew.External links
