About
In 1921 Moscow, engineer Los daydreams of Mars, where Queen Aelita and ruler Tuskub inhabit a divided society.
Moscow, 1921. A puzzling wireless message reaches several stations. Someone jokes that it has come from Mars, a remark aimed at Los (Nikolai Tseretelli), an engineer preoccupied with the idea of travelling to Mars. The message sets him to daydreaming about a distant Martian civilisation. In that imagined world are Queen Aelita (Yuliya Solntseva), the actual ruler Tuskub (Konstantin Eggert) and Aelita's maid Ikhoshka (Aleksandra Peregonets); their society is split between aristocrats and slaves kept underground. In Moscow, Los is married to Natasha (Valentina Kuindzhi), who is troubled by the attention of Erlikh (Pavel Pol), a former wealthy playboy now working as a minor official.
