The Death Cloud of Chornobyl

Overview

A film about the impact of low doses of radiation, told through the visit of members of the youth organization “Next Stop” to the abandoned city of Prypiat. Dozens of hippies from Sweden, France, Japan and other countries arrive at the Chornobyl station after their boycott of a nuclear testing site in Nevada. The foreign youths are greeted by the local elderly self-settlers, who by force of habit continue to sell mushrooms along the road. Covering their bodies in paint, the visitors head to the fourth reactor to enact an anti-nuclear performance.
