THE GATEWAY

Symposium

A surreal dramedy set on the edge of the Chernobyl exclusion zone guides us through lush, florid swamplands. Marked by collective crises in a forgotten post-Soviet nation, three generations grapple with the past and their fate. Grandmother Prisja: heroine of the Second World War, Nazi killer, versed in the lore of mermaids and radioactive formations. Daughter Slava: a once-beautiful woman entrapped for too long in the power structures of a politically undergirded patriarchy. Grandson Vovtshyk: seemingly impaired, yet the source of a mystical and even dark world. Only Baba Prisja is capable of fighting against it and fleeing.
