Darya Yurkevich

Set in a small, typical Belarusian village – granny Sima’s only concern is for the future of her alcoholic son, Vanya. Accompanied by her best friend, a white goat called Manya, she starts a war with her neighbor, Glasha, who happens to be the village Vodka maker…

"A film of horrors" that takes place in the head of almost every inhabitant of Belarus - the last reserve of the socialist system.

Every year, on Easter, the church inevitably encounters an endless stream of believers, many of whom come here only once a year - on this day. What do they expect from this holiday? What are they hoping for? What are they searching for?

Yulia, Alesia and Olya are three Belarusian sisters. They grew up in perfect harmony with their environment where they continue to live, engaging in fishing and subsistence farming. Daria Yurkevich frames this innocent existence magnificently, in a “paradise” located… not far from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
