‘My Granny From Mars’ and ‘Strip and War’

‘My Granny From Mars’

The director’s granny Zina had lived in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and, after retirement, she moved to Crimea. Cheerful and bossy, she has always been uniting the big family.

After the annexation of Crimea by Russia, visiting her has become an endless hustle. The place has turned into ‘a distant planet’, like Mars, and its environment is unfriendly towards the lonely woman. For many reasons, the time has come for her to make a crucial decision.

‘Strip and War’

A small family, consisting of a grandfather, who is leading a veteran organization and writing patriotic articles, and his grandson, who has abandoned his career as an engineer to become a stripper and dream about his own erotic theatre. It is not just a story about a relationship, but rather a reflection of the generation gap and the entire post-Soviet Belarus.

The most important message in this film – family love is more important than any ideology.
