The main topic of Michale Boganim’s Land of Oblivion is Chernobyl. The film was shot at the nearby village where the story is also set. It begins on the day of the catastrophe: Anya and Piotr celebrate their wedding, but everything changes in an instant when Piotr is called to fight the flames at the power station and never returns. Ten years later, Anya still lives in the village; she works as a guide to the tourists who come to see destroyed land and is haunted by her “inner demons”.
