Zero Gravity: Mission in SpaceJürgen Hansen

A Russian, an American and a German fly into space. This is not the beginning of a silly joke, but the fascinating portrait of the life of three astronauts who spend six months in space.

The International Space Station is an ancient dream of humanity come true. The ISS not only symbolizes the discovery of the universe, but it is also a unique collaboration between different nations in order to turn this dream into reality.

In May 2014 three men were sent into space for a period of six months: the American astronaut Reid Wiseman, German Alexander Gerst and Russian Maxim Surayev. For Wiseman and Barley, it was their first space trip. They take you on a breathtaking adventure. The film follows them during their last months of training in different locations - the NASA center in Houston, Star City near Moscow and the European Centre in Cologne - and ultimately, the launch from Kazakhstan in May 2014. During their six-month stay, the astronauts also shoot footage, giving the viewer an overall picture of what it means to be an astronaut. Zero Gravity is a unique experience full of inside information, fascinating images of space as well as a beautiful story about friendship and devotion.
