Videofilm is ‘U’ constructed on the basis of russian cosmism philosophy. It discovers phenomenology of construction of a myth in culture and its transformation during global migration processes.
Narration of the film is based on biography of Yuri Gagarin (first man to space). But the structure refers to hagiography icons, which is enhanced by the set of the film transferred into Palestinian landscape with local actors to act.

Music for the film is based on deconstruction of baroque music and Arabic religious songs.
