War. Belarus After the Elections

The last few years, Matthew and Kate live in the village. An event occurs in their lives that leads to a radical redefinition of relationships. The past and the present are intertwined into one confused story in which the characters lose sleep, drive each other out of the house, rush into the arms, starting a new circle. And precisely at this time friends from Berlin come to visit them.

A film by Daria Demur and Katerina Ignashevich "We Are Walking" is about the confrontation between peaceful demonstrators and riot police in Minsk.

"I'm going out" - were the last words of the young Minsk resident Roman Bondarenko in a telegram chat before he went out into the street to stop unidentified people in civilian clothes tearing down the white-red-white symbols of the protests against Alexander Lukashenko at the "Square of Changes" in the center of Minsk.

The "Akrestino" detention center in Minsk received the gloomy fame of a place where people were especially severely beaten and tortured. However, this did not stop the demonstrations, and the authorities - at least temporarily, stopped their attempts to forcefully suppress the protests - and people freely took to the streets of Belarusian cities, and demonstrations in Minsk became unprecedented in number in the post-Soviet years.

After the start of mass protests in Belarus, demonstrators also appeared in Moscow - at the Belarusian embassy.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is going to be elected to this post for the sixth time in a row at the August 9 elections.
