In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, a character is forced to enter a spacecraft through an emergency airlock without a helmet.

In the movie, he exits a smaller craft and enters into an open airlock door of a larger craft, then repressurizes(?) the airlock from inside.

Is this a realistic scenario at all, or would one die/go unconscious within seconds in a real life situation? Would there be lasting damage to the body?
