In 2020 the city of Minsk, Belarus, overflows with massive anti-government protests. People take to the streets to defend their dream and object to the state of anxiety they have been living in for years. Swinging back and forth between fear and fearlessness, they look for the solidarity of the police, who have been deployed onto the streets to put an end to this same dream and mute their voices.
