Exactly twoo years after the Chernobyl catastrophe… Interspered with documentary sequences, the film is an analysis of this tragedy, its causes and consequences as seen by those who experienced it. All of them agree that : “Chernobyl is our kind of government, with all its faults. Such a thing could only occur in our country. Our bureaucratic system, based on indifference and lies, devoid of all humanism, was not meant to protect our people from physical and moral suffering.
