When a meteor shower tears through a coastal city, a teenage girl finds that the father she barely speaks to anymore may be her only way to save it.
What is Mira about?
Lera Arabova is fifteen and lives in Vladivostok with the rest of her family, while her father spends his years aboard the orbiting station Mira, reduced over time to little more than a voice on the phone. Distance has already done most of the damage to their relationship by the time disaster arrives: a meteor shower strikes the city, and Lera suddenly has one narrow window to protect the people she loves from what follows. Her father, watching from orbit through satellite feeds he was never supposed to use this way, becomes an unlikely lifeline — tracking her movements from above and relaying warnings through whatever channel still connects them. The film sets a near-future disaster story against a much smaller one: a daughter and a father forced to rebuild trust in real time, with no room left for the slow, patient version of that conversation they kept putting off.
About the cast
Anatoliy Belyy and Darya Moroz lead the cast, joined by Veronika Ustimova, Maksim Lagashkin, Evgeny Egorov, Andrey Smolyakov, Vladimir Ilin, and Tatyana Dogileva across the family and city caught up in the crisis. The performances stay grounded even as the disaster-movie machinery around them escalates, keeping the father-daughter thread legible through the noise.
Context & significance
Directed by Dmitry Kiselev, Mira pairs near-future science fiction with a disaster-thriller structure, using orbital technology and a citywide emergency as the backdrop for a much more personal story about an absent parent trying to make up for lost time. The Vladivostok setting grounds the science-fiction premise in a specific, recognizable place rather than an anonymous city under siege.
