Music partisans
Description
There is a monument of Lenin in every town in Belorussia; you can find the hammer and sickle in every street. The powerful symbol is on sugar bags in cafes; it is even stamped on eggs. Through this country full of absurd Soviet relics, a number of young musicians go on tour. Music Partisans follows them through the everyday struggle of "colourful" musicians against a "grey" background. Through their music they try to touch on the problems in Belorussia. Music Partisans interlaces interviews with these underground rebels and their protest songs with poignant archive images of, for example, the militia that hard-handedly stops protest marches.
