DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

Aleksey lives in a Belarussian village. His mother works in the only local shop, and his father is a woodman. They have a bunch of relatives and friends, who lead a similar life.

Today there is a big celebration in this big family. Aleksey is getting married with a girl from a neighboring village. The wedding ceremony is conducted according to old village traditions: match-making, bachelor party, bride purchasing and, sure, samogon (bootleg liquor). Much samogon, as the date of wedding coincides with anniversary of Aleksey’s charismatic father, Michael, who becomes the main hero of the day.

The weekend is full with humor, chaos and village madness, but behind all these, there is a dramatic character of the man who has lived a rough life in the Belarussian village. And maybe the same life is ready-made for his son.
