Gagarin First in Space
The film is dedicated to the first steps of mankind on the path of space exploration and directly to the fate of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. The main motif is the fight for the right to be first: competition in the first cosmonaut group; competition in the missile technology; the confrontation of superpowers - the USSR and the USA. The first group of cosmonauts was selected from three thousand fighter pilots across the USSR. The best of the best made it to the top twenty. Nobody knew who would fly to the space first. On this way, cosmonauts had to contend not only with the Earth's gravity.
