the images, the story , the acting makes this film a kind of experience. it is not more than an eulogy to a time, a place and few people . in same measure, a remember. and homage. a honest film about the fruits of a disaster. a young woman. a teenager. his father. and the shadow of past as root and cage. a movie who remember others and who has as its force source not just artistic value but the science to present the traces of an event in inspired angle. a film from East and an old story from Cernobyl region. a new Zone, different, at first sigh, by the Tarkovsky Zone but with not really different significance. because the revelation has same respiration. the understand of deep truth.
