April 26, 1986. In Chornobyl, the reactor core of the nuclear power plant begins to melt. A cloud loaded with radionuclides travels thousands of kilometers. Without anyone knowing about it and protecting themselves from it. It is the greatest nuclear disaster of the 20th century. Which will cause tens of thousands of victims. At that time, Emmanuel Lepage was 19 years old. He watches and listens, in disbelief, to the news on television.
22 years later, in April 2008, he traveled to Chornobyl to document, through text and drawing, the lives of survivors and their children on highly contaminated land. When he decides to go there, at the request of the Dessin'acteurs association, Emmanuel has the feeling of defying death. When he finds himself on the train that takes him to Ukraine, where the old power plant is located, a question torments his mind: what am I doing here?
