Invisible Paradise
Synopsis
A family living amongst an invisible danger from the fallout of Chernobyl. Teenagers did not witness the Disaster, yet they grew up in perfect harmony with a truly unique and mysterious world, full of life yet death, distorted in time. This film is a symphony, constructed in 4 parts. Four movements; four seasons; four-bar measures. Four moments from the everyday life of girls. Four chances to question their desires and to understand the message from The Zone, its magic silence, its invisible paradise.
