Nikita Lavretski
Questions and Answers

Nikita and Volha have been maintaining a dysfunctional relationship for the past 8 years. In the following movie they play fictional Nikita and Volha who have only just met. Can anything be started anew at the end of history? The actors’ improvised conversation becomes an occasion not only to analyse the history of their rebooted relationship, but also to understand their place in the history of Belarus. Nikita Lavretski, one of the leading voices of new Belarusian cinema, comes back to Doclisboa with this bittersweet reflection on his country masterfully shot in one take by Yulia Shatun.

Director Nikita Lavretski will be present in both screenings.
