"The time to be the first" is the movie about heroes. There is Korolev, an outstanding specialist and constructor of spaceships. His responsibility is enormous. Also there are two cosmonauts who are mad about cosmos. They have an incredible motivation to be the first.

Let's speak about symbolism.
A symbol - is something that is represented by something else. A symbol is a physical object that stands for another object, person, or idea.
- a heart is a symbol for love
- the Statue of Liberty is a symbol for freedom
Symbols help to associate and connect things with ideas or concepts. Sometimes, representing an idea with a physical object communicates more meaning than explaining the idea itself.
What do you think about parallel between the case from Leonov`s childhood and his present, when he is a grown up? Think whether it can be symbolic? And what ideas it can symbolize?
To my mind\ in my opinion it symbolizes
