A COSMONAUT IS STRANDED IN SPACE. THE U.S.S.R. IS ABOUT TO FALL APART. AND BERNARD HAS JUST MADE CONTACT.

May 1, 1999 · 26m

Described by one critic as 'Ballykissangel meets Apollo 13', this short (26 minute) film is based on the extraordinary true story of a Donegal 'ham' radio enthusiast who made contact with a Soviet cosmonaut stranded on the MIR Space station during the summer of 1991.
