Ground control has been receiving mysterious transmissions from the three remaining residents of the Solaris space station.

With SOLARIS, the legendary Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky created a brilliantly original science-fiction epic that challenges our conceptions about love, truth, and humanity itself.
