A philosophical, slow-burn meditation on memory, loss, and the unknowability of consciousness, where an alien intelligence forces astronauts to confront their deepest psychological wounds.
A psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting a planet called Solaris to investigate the death of a doctor and the mental problems of cosmonauts on the station. He soon discovers that the water on the planet is a type of brain which brings out repressed memories and obsessions.
