Discover France, Normandy, the most nuclearized region on the planet. With both humor and seriousness, Esther Hoffenberg explores a well-kept secret: nuclear power and the reprocessing of its waste. What does it mean to live with nuclear power? By questioning both the inhabitants, politicans and industry representatives, the director reveals the many aspects of this frightening reality, as invisible as it is irreversible. Hoffenberg delves into the heart of one of the major ecological and political concerns of this millennium.
“With detailed and skillfully put together touches, this documentary paints a remarkable portrait of Normandy and smartly questions the management of nuclear waste.” —Télérama
