A rare example of Soviet avantguard cinema. The film characters - men in their forties - travel through their lives from their youth into upcoming old age. What is awaiting them there?In a surreal puzzler, this story of a fantasy lived by a disparate group of men captures the visual imagination with its images and leaves a large question mark in the meantime. A rare astronomical phenomenon - the parade of planets - has a peculiar effect on several of the men.
