Pripyat Piano

2026 · 18 min

A quiet, haunted walk through an abandoned town, where memory and music soften the weight of catastrophe.

Overview
26 April 1986: Chernobyl’s reactor number 4 explodes and provokes the biggest nuclear disaster in history. Pripyat, where the plant is located, becomes a ghost city. Guided by former inhabitants, Eliška Cílková takes us in her quest of the town’s memory. Gracefully shot, the film reminds us the power of music where less expected.
