Once the waste has been deposited and the repository is full, the facility is to be sealed off and never opened again.Or so we hope, but can we ensure that? We have, of course, created nothing that has lasted this length of time. And yet Onkalo has to do it. And how is it possible to warn our descendants of the deadly waste we left behind? How do we prevent them from thinking they have found the pyramids of our time, mystical burial grounds, hidden treasures? Languages might be pointless. Captivating, wondrous and extremely frightening, this feature documentary takes viewers on a journey never seen before into the underworld and into the future The film was followed by a Q&A with director Michael Madsen.
