When a chain reaction reaches critical mass, it is like an avalanche. Marta and her fiancé Adam are planning their wedding. Their friend, Paweł, has just finished film school. One of them has already made an irreversible choice, which will lead to an unstoppable chain reaction and like the meltdown of the Chernobyl Power Station in 1986. This will lead to an explosion after which nothing will remain the same.
