An alternative timeline: the Cold War grows so heated that, in 2004, an atomic bomb strikes the desert of Soviet Kazakhstan. Yet one thing remains unchanged even here – no one gets paid for practising journalism. The hipster cultural magnate Dino Davis invites the young enthusiast Sonja to join him on a journalistic expedition to a Soviet-American military base overseeing Kazakhstan’s radioactive zone. It is a mythical place said to be inhabited by phantasmagorical creatures, and Sonja yearns to secure her story – hopefully a sensation. All would be well (yes, the Soviet Union never collapsed) if it weren’t at once terrifying and absurdly hilarious.

Movie is in English and Swedish with subtitles in English.
