Elena, a student in Minsk, finds herself entangled in a passionate yet tumultuous relationship with Viktor. When her father is imprisoned and his business dealings are left unattended, Elena takes charge to secure his bail money. She continues her father's illegal activity by smuggling contaminated steel from the Chernobyl exclusion zone, driving her father's old truck across the border repeatedly. The hazardous task brings her close to the eerily beautiful yet dangerous area, but it also puts her life at risk as she navigates the criminal underworld.
Set against the backdrop of post-Soviet Belarus in 1986, the year of the Chernobyl disaster, this drama-thriller follows Elena, a young woman forced to navigate the treacherous path of crime and corruption to secure her father's freedom. The story weaves together themes of love, betrayal, and survival amidst the haunting beauty of the abandoned Chernobyl zone.
