about the film

How do you create when your country is in its second year of severe repression and there is a war going on in a neighbouring country?  Through the experiences of Belarusian artists who have lived through both, the film speaks about the ability to maintain creativity in the face of political persecution and bombings. Despite all this, the creators in the film continue to create and inspire others, building a Belarus outside Belarus.
