Chernobyl 25 years later… What was happening in the meantime, between the first nuclear cataclysm and the prospect of another one? Where have all the international relief funds disappeared and where are the millions, intended for the reconstruction of the decaying sarcophagus? Where is my life taking me? What legacy am I leaving to my son… These are just some of the questions that the little boy from Chernobyl Anatoliy Rizhov – Tolya, now a grown-up, is trying to answer 20 years after the first documentary about him was made. The film Boy, Blood-Brother of Death 2 is a sequel to the refined story about Tolya and his family trying to live and survive with radiation in a small Ukranian village not far from the largest memorial in nuclear history - from Chernobyl. This is an intimate story about a boy trying to escape its destiny. Will he make it?
