Elena is a student in Minsk, Belarus. She has a passionate but increasingly difficult relationship with her boyfriend Victor. When her father is arrested, she has to continue his illegal business. In order to make deals for him, she repeatedly has to drive into the forbidden zone of Chernobyl. She finds herself attracted by the zone’s deceptive beauty —but her life seems more and more contaminated by a destructive force. As Elena is driving into the zone, she enters a surreal environment that confronts her with the past and her family history, and shows how the impact of the accident of Chernobyl remains over 30 years after.
