Métamorphoses

Settle in the middle of nowhere in the south Ural région 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 strenght of people who has to cope with it.
