The twin shadows of the 1986 Chornobyl disaster and the Orange Revolution
hang over Ivan Kravchyshyn's multi-story, many-layered drama Prorvemos! At
its center is the relentless police investigation of former nuclear
physicist - and current prisoner - Nestor Ivanovich Hreem, whose path
seems to be criss-crossed with several athletes who made the dire mistake
of offending Nestor's Mafioso brother, Doc. Doc, in turn, bears
responsibility for once sending aid to Chornobyl victims through a
ministry that he established, and foolishly encouraging Nestor's son to
volunteer - which promptly led to the young man's torturous death from
radioactive fallout. These stories intersect in a society whose denizens
fail to adhere to logic, individual liberties, or trustworthiness -
tendencies that make life nearly impossible for everyone, including
Nestor.

Presented in cooperation with the organizers of Kinofest NYC, New York's
only Ukrainian and post-Soviet film festival.

The Ukrainian Museum's film program is supported, in part, by public
funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in
partnership with the City Council.
