În timp ce investighează moartea misterioasă a bunicii sale, Dragoș, un regizor din Republica Moldova, descoperă un experiment științific secret. Dragoș dezvăluie planul secret al lui Nikita Hrușciov de a transforma Moldova în grădina sovietică pentru aplicarea energiei atomice în agricultura locală.
Under Nikita Khrushchev's leadership (1958–1964), the Soviet government had a secret plan to turn the current Republic of Moldova into an experimental garden. They wanted to find out if atomic energy could improve local agricultural output. A thought-provoking documentary that draws on 10 years of research. Stimulated by his grandmother’s lethal illness and her memories of some mysterious agricultural experiments in the past, Moldavian filmmaker Dragoș decides to investigate why the cancer rate has increased in his home country lately and whether there is some connection between the fatal statistics and these secret scientific endeavours. This very personal documentary digs into rare found footage in order to portray the industrial shock imposed on Moldova by the Soviet State while unveiling the secret plan of Nikita Khrushchev to transform Moldova into the Soviet Garden through the application of atomic energy in agriculture.
