A docu-comedy about life in Belarus before and after the President elections by Yury Khashchavatski

This film is the latest instalment in Belarus' most celebrated film director Yury Khashchavatski's long-standing and personally dangerous conflict with president Lukashenka. The title refers to the demonstrations on Kalinovski Square after the elections on 19 March 2006 where Lukashenka "created" his victory with almost 83% of the votes. With his astonishing material and ironic discourses Khashchavatski speaks out about resistance and persecution, displaying an overwhelming will for freedom.

Directors' statement
Both from the history and literature I know that truth is stronger than lies, and the spirit of liberty prevails over the executor's truncheon. But quite frequently the life makes each of us test if it really true? Maybe this statement is the literary exaggeration?

So, this time the prospective film is as to its contents – film-investigation, as to its genre – self-personal film.
