Three months before elections the president of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenka claimed: "You have no other choice, you will vote for me!" We were trying to figure out how did it happen that 83% of the population voted for Lukashenka? The film tracks the opposition struggle during few post-election days. The movie shows the falsehood of the official propaganda and the ambiguous, sometimes polar, attitude of simple people. Assembling together all the debris of the opinions, comparing different historical events, jeering at dictator's arrogance and manners, admiring courage and dedication of the young generation, the feature approaches the understanding of what is really going on in the middle of Europe. And one more thing -the director's sarcastic comment throughout the film does not make you bored!

The film is a social-political documentary film that raises questions about the roles we play in history and about the conditions that make it possible to overlook the onset of authoritarian regimes and live in them for years. What is our place in history and what roles do we (un)consciously take on ourselves? The film follows the victims, executioners as well as the disinterested observers.

Using the example of Georgia, the film's authors explore various historical and contemporary events related to Russia's aggressive foreign policy with respect to neighboring (and not only!) Countries, trying to understand their causes and answer difficult questions. What is the fundamental difference between the Russian world and Western civilization? What were and are the methods and tools of Russian politics? What influence does foreign policy have on domestic, in particular, on a person’s position, his fundamental rights and freedoms?
