The story of a young man who always dreamt of becoming the ultimate Russian hero, a cosmonaut in the mould of Yuri Gagarin. Enrolling as a cadet at the Zaraisk flying school, it is not long before he is chosen to be the sole pilot of a mission - a one-way assignment to the dark side of the moon. Omon encounters the outrageous Colonel Urgachin and the terrifying absurdity of Soviet protocol and its backward technology including a bicycle-powered moonwalker.
