The Moon and the World

In 2040, Ruskosmos opened the Sunset-1 lunar station in order to protect the Earth from a dangerous asteroid. The new structure was headed by the eccentric Irina Tsvetkova, who had equally strange employees under her command: the dim-witted major Slava, the boorish pilot Sofia, the clueless engineers Yurich and Roma, and other specialists who had not found a place on their native planet. The usual way of life at the station is being changed by astrophysicist Venera Myshkina, who learns that in fact the team is not saving the world, but illegally extracting helium-3.

Directed by Ilya Kulikov, The Moon and the World leans on a strong ensemble — Nonna Grishaeva, Tatiana Babenkova, Pavel Yashkov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
