The island (English version)

(This is a rush translation. Version may not be in its final form.)
Young teenagers decide to camp on the island.
They find hidden artifacts. Talk to shamans.
They return to the city very differently and begin to murder their relatives.

*
Shamanic songs were called demonic in the good day speech of the camp chief.
The goal was to unlink the body from any memory.
All of them in one building. It had artificial pools, long ice-colored corridors, high windows to get in the sun.
Finally they could participate in progress, the president said.
They ate little. They worked hard. The sick were taken to the infirmary and many never returned.
But tortures were the worst moments.
They saw in the cinema a display of their collars, ceremonies and sacred texts being burned, and the heroism of progress.
Ashes in numbered metal boxes.
Some guards began to have nightmares.
One of them killed all the comrades in his room with a hatchet.
The concentration camp has been closed.
