Synopsis
The film Once There Was a Town… is a surreal tale of a radioactive sausage and a several-metres-high mountain of contaminated wool, which the director watches while riding an old, crumbling Ferris wheel in the centre of Pripyat – an abandoned town. It’s an animated documentary about immense human stupidity and the consequences of strange political decisions that most affect the lives of people who were powerless against the force of those decisions.
