A giant white canvas travels through the streets of Minsk. Inspired by the multi-colored rectangles on the walls of the city, the abstract artist Zakhar Kudin copies them onto the canvas and thus tries to fit into the landscape of his native country. He argues that the purpose of true art is to ask questions, not seek answers. However, such statements do not quite suit the authorities, who, among other curious people, are trying to interpret the work of a street artist. Watching the birth of an artistic phenomenon, the film shows modern Belarus with irony and love and through the mouth of passers-by asks questions that are relevant not only for this country.
