Synopsis:

In 2023 the psychologist Marta is given an assignment to return to the location of a construction site of a tunnel. There has been an accident in which unknown gas has entered the air of the surrounding Valley resulting in low levels of oxygen. Marta should find the three remaining engineers and report on their symptoms of paranoia and confusion. Marta herself has taken part earlier in a biospheric project which has left her with hallucinations which she calls 'echos'. She struggles to keep her 'echos', memories and wishes separate from one another. Marta finds one of the engineers and a strange young woman who has also stayed in the contaminated area. Searching for the other missing engineers, Marta enters into the mysterious space of the tunnel. The deeper she enters the tunnel, the deeper she also enters her own inner searching of what she has lost. The line between her 'echos' and reality becomes blurred. She is searching for a lost son which she has only fleeting memories of.

Lucens, Switzerland, January 21, 1969. On this a thermonuclear accident occurred, its seriousness comparable to those that occurred in Chernobyl and Fukushima. News about the accident was hidden from the general public. Fifty years later, Marta, a psychologist, is ordered to explore the changes in the composition of the air due to abnormal gas outflow from a large alpine tunnel, and to examine its effects on the natural environment and on the scientists working inside the tunnel.

The Inner Zone is based a true incident that happened on January 21, 1969. In a tunnel in the Swiss Alps is an atomic test reactor which had a core meltdown comparable to Tschernobyl or Fukishima. The tunnel was closed in time so that no radiation leaked out. It has been kept a secret from the public.
