Ever since its discovery, the mysterious intelligent ocean of the binary star planet Solaris has been attracting new generations of scientists. When psychologist Kris Kelvin arrives on the space station, he learns that the leader of the crew committed suicide the day before. The two remaining scientists seem distraught and report ominous doppelgangers. Suddenly Kelvin finds himself face to face with his deceased wife Harey. Gradually, he realizes that the intelligent ocean is connected to all this. Is this the long-awaited contact of an alien life form, a defensive reaction or just a random gimmick? Stanisław Lem's masterpiece of science fiction literature is a captivating scenario of the human search for identity, the quest for knowledge and the encounter with the unknown.
