Adapted from a Stanislaw Lem novel, 'Solaris' is the USSR's answer to Stanley Kubrik's '2001'. The film charts the strange events which befall a group of young cosmonauts who work on space station orbiting the ocean-covered planet Solaris. Fellow cosmonaut Chris Kelvin is sent to investigate the occurrences, and himself soon begins encountering a variety of supernatural phenomena, including the physical manifestation of his own painful memories of his now-dead wife. Kelvin tries to get to the bottom of the mystery and begins looking for a way to communicate with the powerful forces of Solaris.
