Eight curious scientists in the far-future year 1985 try to find the source and meaning of a message disc from the planet Venus. Based on "The Astronauts" by the great Stanislaw Lem (SOLARIS), this SF curio also boasts a multinational cast, as well as beautiful photography and production design.

Among DEFA’s minor treasures, and with a Dr. Strangelove character as Henry Gibson might have played him.
