Minsk, 2020: the country stands on the brink of revolution. Pavel (25) has distanced himself from the Lukashenko regime, which his father Jan (55) had supported for decades as a deputy district chief. Pavel’s friend Stepan (26), an activist, urges him to take action, but Pavel fears consequences for his family. After the manipulated election results, he can no longer hold back and takes to the streets. His increasing political involvement puts his father under immense pressure, driving a deep rift through the family. Meanwhile, the police cracks down aggressively on protesters, arresting thousands, including Pavel.
The violent torture in prison and Stepan’s death from injuries sustained in the protests, leave Pavel emotionally destroyed and lead him to radicalise even more and join the resistance. Through these events, his father finally opposes the system, but Pavel is now at the mercy of the brutal regime, determined to leave the country, and facing even greater challenges ahead.
