Info

Description

A new inhabitant, psychologist Chris Kelvin, arrives at the space station, whose employees have long and in vain been trying to come to terms with the mystery of the planet Solaris, covered by the Ocean, to understand the strange messages coming from the station and “close” it along with all the fruitless “solaristics”. At first, it seems to him that the few scientists who survived at the station have gone crazy. Then he himself becomes a victim of a terrible obsession: his former beloved Hari, who once committed suicide on earth, appears to him.
