Annotation:

The film tells about the preparation of astronauts for work in outer space in the hydrolaboratory of the Gagarin Space Research Center. The hydrolaboratory was put into operation in the winter of 1980, when astronauts began to go into space more and more often, and it turned out to be easiest to train in conditions similar to weightlessness in the water. Why such underwater training is necessary and what it gives astronauts - these and other questions are answered by the film. For the creation of the film, the creative team of the studio was awarded the "Small Golden Dolphin" award at the VI International Underwater Film Festival "Golden Dolphin 2007".
