Inside a land frozen in time by disaster. Three decades after the world's most infamous nuclear disaster, wildlife has returned in the absence of human settlements. Meanwhile, illegal hiking adventurers known as "stalkers," extreme sports aficionados, artists, and tour companies have begun to explore anew the ghostly, post-apocalyptic landscape.
"The nuclear disaster at Chernobyl is undoubtedly the most infamous of the second half of the 20th century, and it has sparked as much outrage as curiosity and, strangely, an entire tourist attraction driven by morbidity, not to mention a collective sense of mortality in the face of similar incidents (such as Fukushima, already in the 21st century). 'Stalking Chernobyl' is a documentary that follows the enthusiasts of tourism in the exclusion zone (called "stalkers" by the famous film of filmmaker Andréi Tarkovski), which not only explores their unusual customs, but also, at least superficially, allows for certain reflections on our relationship with death."
