In April 1986, the humankind is confronted with one of the greatest ecological disasters in History: a nuclear explosion of unparalleled magnitude. Exclusion zones are set up to accommodate the disaster survivors. The village of Dytiatky and its inhabitants refuse to integrate into an exclusion zone and continue to live on their land, with their traditions and histories. There are premature deaths among those displaced and a saving continuity for the Samossiols, those who “resist/return.” After 25 years, what does this community think about its journey? And what do their grandchildren think? What reasons motivated the disaster victims to fee or to stay? It is in the village of Dytiatky, bordering the “Zone” with those who “return”, that we must ask ourselves…
