Rescue mission into the unknown

The inhabitants of planet Zenturia are receiving radio waves from planet Earth. The love song they hear is so inviting they send a space ship to Earth. When it crashes on Phobos, a moon of Mars, the Earthlings receive their emergency call and send the space ship Okean to pick up the Zenturian survivors. The rescue mission turns out very difficult due to more technical problems and the Martian sandstorms.

After a slow beginning, the movie turns out to be quite an entertaining 60s sci-fi flick with nice model building, more interested in the technical aspects than the characters, with an experimental early synth soundtrack that to today's ears is difficult to distinguish from a radio transmission failure. The movie is over too soon with just over 1 hour playing time, feels like they forgot the final act.
