The girl is the daughter of the “Chernobyl child” whom Christian had taken into his home many years earlier. In the middle of the night, while a violent storm causes a blackout, the two protagonists are forced to confront a secret that has been kept hidden for too long. This unexpected encounter will trigger a process of confrontation, reconciliation, and emotional liberation, capable of transforming their lives.
