Guest from the Future

A Soviet schoolboy's science fair project goes intergalactic by accident. Kolya stumbles into the 21st century, foils some underdressed Saturnians after a mind-reading gadget, and drags the future back to 1980s Moscow with him. The film treats time travel like a minor bureaucratic infraction, which somehow makes it all work.
