For 92 minutes (the time for one earth-orbit of the station) the routine of a long-term space station crew is shown, frequently interrupted by panoramic views of the earth. In addition to observing the routine day-to-day activities of eating, exercising, and conducting experiments in weightlessness, Krikalev is a bystander to the 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt and the collapse of the Soviet Union during his 10-month stay. The arrival of Soyuz TM-13 is a highlight, with the station being crowded with five cosmonauts for a week. Due to the then-current political situation in Kazakhstan, a Kazhak cosmonaut, Toktar Aubakirov, was selected for this mission. Without long-term training he was unable to relieve Krikalev, who therefore had to stay another six months at the station. Finally, Krikalev is shown back on earth, resting on a couch after more than 300 days in zero gravity.
