All you can find on the Internet about Alexei Balabanov’s identity is some of the main dates and events, a scrap of stories from the shoot. The director has always lived quite private and isolatedly, remaining a very mysterious figure of a post-Council filmmaker. So I wanted to better understand the important Russian director by going along with the heroes of his film.

According to the film’s story, the heroes are passing through a checkpoint where the nuclear station has been hit by eternal winter after the accident. That’s why the site’s atmosphere is changing to a snowy, dark one.
