“Anna’s Feelings”: from space with love

An epidemic is raging in the world (or only in Russia), supposedly threatening to destroy civilization, which is why humanity (or only Russia) plans to move to Mars. The first 90 brave souls are about to go there to give birth to a colony. This is constantly talked about in the television news, which is watched by Anna, a worker at a Perm confectionery factory (Anna Mikhalkova – “Let’s Get Divorced”, “Storm”, “The Barber of Siberia”), who is raising two children with her husband (Timofey Tribuntsev – Yura from “The Bullfinch”).

One day Anna was walking home from work when she suddenly fell and hit her head. Now at night, sitting like a somnambulist, with her eyes closed, at the kitchen table, she writes down the messages dictated to her by alien minds. The messages are verbose, but in essence they are extremely simple: people don’t need to fly to any Mars, but they need to love each other, otherwise the end of the world will come in 10 years. Anna is confused by her sudden gift, her husband frowns, and the doctor, who looks suspiciously like Spock from Star Trek, prescribes her a sedative. But what kind of sedative is that? After Anna, with the help of unknown voices, predicts the crash of a Greek ocean liner, she gains local fame as a seer and the “Vanga of Perm.”
