Synopsis

Somewhere in Europe there is a forbidden zone. Twenty years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster we return to Pripyat, a model city built in the early 1970s. Located at the heart of the 'forbidden zone', this city was once inhabited by 50,000 people, many of them workers at the nuclear power plant. When an invisible enemy forced the residents of Pripyat and the surrounding villages to evacuate the area, Pripyat became a ghost town. Although the land it was constructed upon appears to have reverted back to its natural state, traces of its former occupants are still visible some twenty years after. We hear the sounds of the activity of a restaurant, a cinema, a swimming pool, a nursery, as if people still inhabited these places. Winner of the Second Jury Prize, International Documentary Shorts Film Competition, Documenta Madrid.
