About the film

Communal painters Zina and Inna carefully paint over the graffiti and slogans on the walls of Minsk, leaving colorful rectangles as a result. The abstract artist Zakhar Kudin is inspired by these bright figures and decides to copy them onto the huge canvases. Passers-by, intrigued by Zakhar's performance, are trying to interpret his work and express their opinions, but not only about art. Watching the birth of an artistic phenomenon, the film shows contemporary Belarus with irony and love and raises questions relevant not only to this country.
