Polissya. Aftertaste

About This Movie

Polissya. Aftertaste offers a haunting glimpse into a forgotten city, long after the Chornobyl disaster. It’s one of those films that immerses you in the eerie atmosphere of a place that resisted evacuation for over a decade. The pace is contemplative, almost meditative, as it navigates through the remnants of everyday life amidst lingering radiation. The documentary captures personal stories of those who returned, the contrast between their past lives and current reality is striking. The visuals are raw, with a stark beauty that makes you feel the weight of history. You can sense the emotional turmoil in the interviews; it’s not just about survival, but the haunting echoes of what was lost.
