About Chernobyl, thousands of feet of videotapes have been shot. However, this film is not talking about Chernobyl but of a world which we know almost nothing. Ordinary people from all walks of life are raising their voices to testify. Through their supplication, the film takes us on a journey into the human soul. The film, which has won many awards at international festivals, is an adaptation of a novel by Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel prize for litterature winner.
Veteran director Pol Cruchten transposes Alexievich´s gripping account into a choral visual poem reminiscent of Tarkovsky.
