Three brothers are at ground zero during the Chernobyl disaster.

(from Like You’d Understand, Anyway)

The drama surrounding the emotionally estranged brothers is well told, but I most enjoyed the description of the fear and bureaucracy that let the disaster become a disastrophe. Reminded me of the story of the Morro Castle, a little. Besides the funny parts, and the familial melodrama, this story seemed to be teetering on some other point but it lost me there. Sounds silly, but I think this could have been a lot more fun.
