Rollan Serhiyenko
The first full-length film about the Chornobyl tragedy, filmed in May-September 1986. The authors did not set themselves the task of showing an exhaustive picture of what happened in Chornobyl. They sought to capture the testimonies of people directly involved in the tragedy, the lessons of which have yet to be realized.

A man is notified of his father's imminent death. He travels to his father in a remote Ukrainian village, recalling his childhood during the disastrous forced collectivization and artificial famine (Holodomor) of the 1930s by the Soviet regime. The film was heavily cut due to censorship by the Soviet Government.

Women of Ukraine of the 20th century — residents of villages, collective farms, and cities of the Soviet republic — talk about themselves. The context of the great story is revealed through tragic, not at all bookish, first-person narratives and documentary footage of menial labor in the fields and construction sites.
