A humorous essay film about Yuri Gagarin, the first human to orbit the earth, and moths, which navigate by celestial light. When a moth encounters a closer artificial light, it instinctively corrects toward it, and plummets. The film connects the human and animal desire to follow light with the risk of falling.
