Boris Mirkin
It is a portrait film of Boris Mirkin, one of the pioneers of Soviet programming. In the film, Mirkine does not speak so much of the artificial intelligence as the chapka (fur cap) he bought in London, the collection of horse figurines or his children scattered in different countries. In fact, it is not really a gay story because it is the portrait of a whole generation of Soviet scientists. He started working in cybernetics in a country where artificial intelligence was used to study the daily behavior of villagers. He left because his family dreaded the pogroms against the Jews. He made a career in the West. He came back because in Russia, we think in Russian.

What makes people so attractive? With its beauty, unknownness, immense distance from the earth? Some have made this interest their profession and have become scientists - astronomers and astrophysicists, others have turned it into a hobby and all the free time from the roofs of houses and even in private observatories watch the starry sky, opening new stars, giving them names. About astronomy, astronomers - professionals and amateurs, tells this film.
