Hugo does not see his visit to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone as a pilgrimage. Wandering through the radioactive ruins is just an opportunity for the young tourist to feed his Instagram account. During his absurd chase, however, he discovers inhabitants he had no idea existed. An atmospheric French-Czech animated short by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Bruno Collet.
