Metamorphosen

Settled in the middle of nowhere in the south Ural region in Russia, the film is the story of people living in one of the most radioactive contaminated spots on earth. Unknown to a wide public this region was repeatedly irradiated by different accidents of the nuclear facility Mayak, which was the first plant for the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons in the Soviet Union and which is still in operation. The filmmakers attempt is to find a cinematic translation for a danger that is not perceptible nor visual and to capture the strength of people who has to cope with it. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
