The world was enveloped in the Cold War. The 'Iron Curtain' split not only Europe, but the whole world, into two politically and militarily antagonistic blocs. Nuclear weapons are present in both blocs. Fear of nuclear war leads to a panicked attempt by many countries to provide such weapons, while science works to find a cure for nuclear radiation caused by the use of nuclear weapons. Set at the Vinca Institute near Belgrade, GUARDIANS OF THE FORMULA tells a story of a survival race between two scientists, two worlds, and two ideologies.
