Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We open in the 1970s, moments before a nuclear power plant disaster (nodding at the hit-TV show Chernobyl). Sirens are going, radiators dials are off the charts, scientists and guards alike are frantically screaming only to be interrupted by singing from a popular TV series (Friends). Everyone turns to see where the sound is coming from to find a Switch TV user, a cleaner, watching his favourite series.
