action
2007: The Russian student Vitja Sereda gives a lecture at school about recently discovered radio signals from the constellation Cassiopeia . He suggests sending children at the age of 14 to the planet Alpha Kassiopeia as cosmonauts in order to establish contact with the civilization suspected there. According to his calculations, the child's crew will have grown up at the destination of the trip. The idea of the lecture is taken up by the Soviet Union and Vitja selects five of his classmates as a team for the project. Vitja and his friends set off for Kassiopeia without knowing that Fedja Lobanov is also on board and that they have manipulated the spaceship so that it flies faster than the speed of light and will arrive 27 years earlier than planned.
The children's experiences at the destination of the journey are portrayed in robots in the constellation Kassiopeia .
