DER UNFREIWILLIGE RAKETENFLIEGER - Kölner Kino Nächte

In the organizer's words:

THE INVOLUNTARY ROCKET PILOT
F 1958 - 96' - DF. - Director: Jean Dréville

After a car accident, Monsieur Martin suffers from amnesia. On the advice of his doctor, he moves to the countryside to recover without the distraction of current events. Until a foreign parachute container lands nearby and Martin's deceased dog Friquet appears. However, the dog's behavior is strange; he refuses all food and does not even chase the little white mouse in the house. He only begins to eat at the sound of a bell. Officials from the Soviet embassy are quickly alerted and, with the help of the local prefect, want to retrieve the missing rocket dog and the mouse. Martin entrenches himself on a farm and a firefight ensues. But then the Martin couple even travel to Moscow at the invitation of the Soviet Union and, with a heavy heart, hand the dog over to the scientist and astronaut Papov. The planned launch of Sputnik initially fails and Monsieur Martin finally flies into space with the dog.
