sculptor Barney Stark and his wife Karen accidentally became the... cause of spreading radioactive dust throughout the city. Wherever they went, they carried diseases and death with them. But their physical suffering from the radiation they were exposed to was incomparable to the emotional torment and internal struggles. The spouses faced alienation from family and friends, aggression from residents, and the unexpected pregnancy of Karen, which they had dreamed of for several years.
The theme is relevant in our time — environmental disasters, pandemics, accidents. The plot is based on the story of radioactive contamination, and for the author, it is important how the characters experience this, every movement of the soul of Barney and Karen, any manifestation of feelings, both positive and negative.
An industrial disaster is contrasted with a person's personal disaster, the collapse of his life and hopes.
