October 1958, the Cold War is at its peak. Working on a secret experiment at the state nuclear institute Vinča in Yugoslavia, a group of young communist scientists led by Professor Dragoslav Popović get irradiated with a lethal dose of uranium.

As his colleagues find no solution to treat the patients, Mathé proposes to perform the first-ever human bone marrow transplant… Based on true events.
