This package also includes a bonus short, Johanes Doktor Faust (1958), the longer cut of 'The Cabinet of Jan Švankmajer' with a new introduction by the Quay Brothers, the documentary Les Chimeres des Švankmajer (2001), interviews with Jan and Eva Švankmajer and examples of their work in other media.

On March 27, 1968, at 10 hours 08 minutes, the engine of the MiG-15 aircraft, piloted by cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, was launched. The training flight of the first cosmonaut took place as usual. After 20 minutes, Gagarin requested permission to interrupt the flight and return to the airfield. He never made contact again. Gagarin’s plane was discovered at 14.50 in the Vladimir region near the village of Novoselovo in a dense forest. The engine and front cockpit went into the ground. The wreckage of the plane was scattered at a distance of up to 200 meters. Commissions to establish the causes of Gagarin's death began work on the day of the tragedy. But to date, none of the proposed versions have been unanimously accepted. The authors of the film disassembled versions and rumors. But most importantly, they "lived" with Gagarin his last 24 hours, with the accuracy of a second to restore the last flight of the first cosmonaut. close
