A DATE IN MINSK

  • Nikita Lavretski

Nikita and Volha have a dysfunctional relationship. After eight years, they give each other a second chance for a “first” date. They talk about themselves and about life in a society between Tinder and the Soviet Union.

DIRECTOR

  • Nikita Lavretski

    A daredevil filmmaker who pushes the boundaries of pain with rude hilarity, and even goes beyond them without sparing himself. Cahiers du Cinéma describes Lavretski, who was born in Minsk in 1994, as "the most interesting punchline writer on the invisible Belarusian scene".
