The central idea of the film is especially disturbing. Nuclear wars are not started by clinical madmen. They are started by “rational” politicians making rational decisions within an inevitably irrational system. This is precisely why the film is called Threads — because it shows how human destinies, political decisions, fears, coincidences and mistakes are connected by invisible threads. And when those threads are pulled too tight, the very fabric of civilisation begins to tear. I very much hope that when the astronauts returning from their lunar mission on April 10, two days before Orthodox Easter and Cosmonautics Day, look back at Earth, they will find it in the same condition in which they left it.
