500 years after humanity fled a ruined Earth, a lone traveler returns—not for glory, but for hope. As her spacecraft nears home, Sarah records a final message to the child she’ll never meet. Through memories, confessions, and quiet revelations, she tells the story of a civilization lost… and the fragile chance to begin again.

A short film based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fictional universe, combining the “Picnic to the curb” of the Strugatsky brothers, “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky and the “Exclusion Zone” location around the Chernobyl NPP. According to the scenario, an agent of the peacekeeping forces, nicknamed "The Photographer", arrives in the Zone to prevent a global scale catastrophe, which could be caused by an experiment that went out of control at a scientific lab.
