1957년 소련의 스푸트니크 2호에 실려 최초로 우주로 간 개, 라이카는 살아 돌아오지 못했다. 모스크바의 길거리를 떠돌다 우주선에 타게 된 라이카는 우주선이 지구 궤도로 진입하자 불에 타듯 사망했다. 영화는 당시 라이카의 유령이 혜성처럼 지구에 떨어져 여전히 모스크바를 떠돌고 있다는 ‘도시전설’로부터 시작된다. 시적이며, 에세이 스타일인 이 뛰어난 다큐멘터리는 라이카의 영혼이 깃든 두 마리 개를 중심으로 떠돌이 개들의 삶을 그들 눈높이에서 보여준다. 개들의 생생한 삶은 우주로 간 개들이 버텨낸 삶의 궤도와 묘하게 겹쳐 보인다. 또한 끝없이 부유하는 개들의 이미지는 결국 우리들 삶의 그림자이기도 하다.

World, that is for the followers of a small Mennonite community in Argentina, all that is outside, beyond their community, where the "worldmen" live. Their everyday life is determined by an attempt to ward off everything modern, a life without electricity, machines and communicative media, a school whose only books are the Bible and the Catechism. Nora Fingscheidt takes this life in the eye and lets it be told by those who live it - in different degrees of devotion. In the process, it is not least apparent how a life-style, which has devoted itself entirely to the departure from this "world," is formed around it. And then, between the pictures and the words, a gap opens, in which the longing for a more destitute life, as well as the fear of a sad departure, becomes perceptible.

«The earth has a memory», it is once said in this film. It embraces the dead, and with them their memories. Digging for these memories can reveal another life. Not as a document, but as fertile ground for feelings and thoughts. Director Levin Peter spends a lot of time in intense conversations with his grandfather who used to be stationed in the Ukraine as a soldier of the Wehrmacht. Levin travels there, looking to trace and excavate what he has heard. What he has heard are the kind of tales that can haunt you in old age.
