STORY:
Sergey grew up in Pripyat.
In 1986, just a few weeks before the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster, children began to disappear without a trace. Among them was his younger sister, Varya.
After the catastrophe, the city was abandoned. The searches stopped, and the past was buried beneath radiation and deadly silence.
Ten years later, Sergey receives an anonymous envelope.
Inside is a photograph of Varya, taken after the disaster, against the backdrop of the dead city.
To uncover the truth, he must return to a place no one was meant to return to — the abandoned city of Pripyat, where memories awaken and secrets refuse to remain forgotten.
