Set in spring 1938, a fiery UFO—dubbed the Chilean Sphere—crashes in Chile’s northern mountains. A film crew’s investigation uncovers a secret Soviet space program from the 1930s, revealing that Soviet scientists launched a spacecraft 23 years before Gagarin’s flight. The mock‑documentary follows the pioneering cosmonauts’ daily life, bravery and tragedy, marking Russia’s first foray into the mockumentary genre.
