“Dance, dance... otherwise we are lost” are the words of Pina Bausch (1940 – 2009), a legendary German avant-garde dancer and choreographer. Her unique creations transformed the language of dance and offered a visual experience like no other. This revolutionary 3D film by Wim Wenders captures the aesthetics of Pina Bausch’s greatest works in a thrilling way. Partly musical, partly documentary, the film is a magical ode to the love of movement.

It is Saturday, April 26th 1986, and a reactor has just exploded in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The Party leadership is silent, the population clueless. Only the loyal Party member Valery attempts to flee the invisible danger with his girlfriend Vera. But the vitality and high spirits of his merry-making friends keep him firmly in their grip... The story of the apocalypse in the Ukrainian village Prypiat has stirred the fantasy of the acclaimed Russian scriptwriter and director ALEKSANDER MINDADZE (Russia, 1949), who has created a surreal drama about the dance on the edge of a volcano. One of the most exquisite qualities of the film is its cinematography by the distinguished Romanian cinematographer Oleg Mutu.
