The film “Belarus 23.34” is a story of Belarusians who were subjected to repressions. The film was made on the basis of 25 interviews with victims and chronicles. The film shows the path of a detainee at a protest in Belarus: march and detention, a ride in a prison truck, registration at a police station, trial, prison, release and reflection on the experience.

The events of the film take place in a small town at the very beginning of the coronavirus epidemic. No one introduced quarantine then, so the author’s mother continued to go to work and to the store, thinking about security measures as something necessary, but far from it, not taking the disease seriously, treating it as another element of fuss.

This movie is about a little piece of the life of transit refugees who stay in Brest, Belarus and seek asylum in Poland. The refugees stay in Brest from a few days to 6 months. Some of them, when they run out of money and lose their mental strength to make attempts to cross the border, stay to live in Belarus. The movie includes scenes with families who already moved to Poland and families who stayed to live in Belarus.
