A tense Soviet-era drama that weaves together scientific ambition, romantic rivalry, and the human cost of nuclear research into a meditation on duty, desire, and mortality.
Set in the Soviet scientific community, the story follows two dedicated physicists whose close friendship unfolds amid dangerous nuclear research, shaped by their shared affection for a strong-willed woman. Radiation exposure, scientific ambition, and romantic rivalries intersect as the characters confront the physical risks of their work and the personal consequences of their choices.
