To the sky

20-year-old Kolya has wanted to become an astronaut since childhood, but he is not accepted into the school due to restrictions. And then one day, on the way to the store, Kolya meets his neighbor, cosmonaut Vasily Petrovich, who died in space 10 years ago.

Directed by Анна Иноземцева, To the sky leans on a strong ensemble — Yuri Kolokolnikov, Nikita Kleschev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
