It’s April of 1986 in Pripyat, Ukraine, when a core melt‑out at Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl Power Plant caused a catastrophic explosion that killed over thirty people and would ultimately claim a four‑digit death toll from radiation fallout, making it the world’s largest ecological disaster. Set at ground zero, the film reveals the details of the event, the shock of the world watching the tragedy in fear and confusion, and the self‑less courage and integrity of those who first worked to stabilize the reactor. Yet some were too busy in love to notice the disaster that had just unfolded nearby, and the catastrophe faded into the background. The story is an account of love and loss, bravery and supernatural stoicism in the face of unbeatable odds.
