BELARUSIAN WALTZ

POLISH TITLE: BIAŁORUSKI WALC

In Belarus, the totalitarian regime cracks down on all opposition. Anyone criticising the dictator risks imprisonment and torture. Belarusian Waltz is the incredible story of the performance artist Alexander Pushkin, who is one of very few who is not scared. Facing grave consequences he organizes public happenings that mock president Lukashenka. Through his art and sense of humor we take a deep dive into the soul of the Belarusian people.
