Over thirty people died during the blast but the estimated death toll as a result of the radiation fallout will reach a four-digit number. This accident will be considered the world’s largest ecological disaster. Set at ground zero of a catastrophe, this film will reveal the details of the Chernobyl event. The shocking news of the explosion at the nuclear plant has spread, as the world watched the tragedy in fear and confusion. Hearts went out to those who displayed selfless courage and integrity in the initial efforts to stabilize the reactor power. But some were too busy being in love to notice what had just happened in nearby Chernobyl. The disaster has faded into the background...

It is late April 1986. Maryana, a doctor, decides to pay a weekend visit to her relatives in Pripyat. She takes her younger sister, high school student Alya, with her. On the way there the girls see a terrible explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power station.

Unfortunately, during the flight to the burning reactor his helicopter crashes and Nikolay dies. The girl finds out about his death from Pasha.
