Leonov has been a hero of the author's youth since that day in 1965 when he was the first man to go out into space. How could this Air Force General-Staff, the dual hero of the USSR, initially "the son of an enemy of the people", have been able to surf the wave of regime changes and integrate perfectly with Russia? 'today ? With many Soviet archival images, this film tells the story of a pioneer in the conquest of space.
