About Half-Life
Searching for an escape from an impoverished city life, a retired couple moves to an abandoned country house in the radioactive zone of Chernobyl. Twenty five years after the disaster, the husband is convinced the land is ready to be cultivated, his wife on the other hand is less sure. A fable of love, Half-Life explores the boundaries of commitment and fear.
Directed by Darya Zhuk, Half-Life leans on a strong ensemble — Galina Kukhalskaya, Konstantin Mikhalenko, Igor Sidorchik — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2011.
