It's the middle of the 1960s, the river's in flood and the weather's stuck in mid-March. It's also the era of the space race and young Leonard wants the Russians to win. Suffering from a rare and painless wasting disease, he puts his faith in Yuri Gagarin, heroic pioneer of a weight-free existence.
