Volodarka is the name of a village classified as zone 4 since the disaster of April 26, 1986. Vassili and Viera met in Volodarka that year. He was a reservist soldier who was called back on the night of April 27-28 for a compulsory mission to the Chernobyl plant. She lives alone in the village with her three children. Today, in Volodarka, more than 35 years after the disaster: one does not receive help to stay in this zone so little contaminated, they say. Here, an ordinary life. Through the banality of everyday life and the precariousness of lives, Volodarka questions our civilization of progress, which, far from the first gods, still fills the world stage with the greatest human sacrifices.
