The Last Love of Grandma Dunya

Grandma Dunya returns to her village after the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. While the whole world fears the radiation-contaminated forest fruits, she and her like-minded friends rebuild their lives. In the middle of abandoned land, where birds sing louder than anywhere else. While the terminally ill Petrov swings in a hammock and reads love poems, and the milker Masha has an affair with a hundred-year-old Sidorov, Grandma Dunya writes letters to her daughter in Germany. But then strangers appear in the village— and the community is once again threatened with extinction.

Aline Bronsky poignantly and poetically, ironically and soulfully revives the lost world. She tells the story of a village that should no longer exist and an unusual woman who finds her own paradise in old age.
