Dukovany – A Boiling Cauldron

Overview

A nuclear reactor and a factory canteen, the jargon of engineers, and the earthy language of cooks. In her film-survey, the sensitive observer Vihanová observes two contrasting worlds that meet at the Dukovany nuclear power plant during a hydrostatic test on Unit II of the EDU. Science and life are permeated by Badinerie, from Bach’s Orchestral Suite in B minor. Art gives both worlds greatness.
