An unexpected collision of two characters and two worlds in the very center of Belarus
International Competition
Outside the city of Minsk live an unlikely pair. A retired lieutenant-colonel stuck in a pro-Soviet past spends his days leading a regional veteran organization, writing military articles and patriotic essays. He shares his home with his grandson Anatol, who left his unfulfilling job as an engineer to pursue his true calling as a stripper and dreams of one day founding his own erotic theatre. Their worlds could not be further apart – and they are still dependent upon one another and must navigate gently through their differences. It is not just a story of a relationship, but rather a reflection of entire Belarus and the post-Soviet space.
Vote for the best film of the Festival according to the audience. The voting form is HERE and will be available from December 11th.
