While researching a secret Soviet antenna at Chernobyl, which interrupted global radio communications from 1976 – 1989, Fedor Alexandrovich uncovers a dark conspiracy. The scientists and military men dismiss his warnings that Russia is behind a massive cover-up and he descends into a nightmare where he battles the antenna on his own terms. When he is invited to address the crowds in Kiev’s Revolution Square during height of the protests, he fears that powerful men may kill him if he speaks out.
Chad Gracia is a writer and director whose debut feature film, The Russian Woodpecker was made rife with peril for both its subjects and the crew (one of the film’s cinematographers was injured by sniper shots during production). Gracia has credited his early fascination with Slavic literature as the inspiration for this film.
