Synopsis

Years have passed since the disaster at the Golfech nuclear plant in southwestern France. Local guide Sophie outfits curious tourists from around the world in protective suits, masks and dosimeters, and leads them on gyropod tours through the exclusion zone, where decontamination teams are still at work. A tour led by a woman with little left to lose and much to gain becomes a sharp question about disaster tourism and how quickly we grow used to catastrophe. Known for her sand-and-soil animation and radio documentaries, Anne-Sophie Girault places a plant that is in fact still operating at the centre of an imagined disaster, deftly blending documentary and fiction.
