Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Piotr and Alina are 30-year-olds in a big city, trying to make their dreams come true. Alina earns money in a casino so she can work as a director. Piotr works in an alternative radio station, co-organizing aid for the Belarusian opposition. The day of their engagement is supposed to be a joyful meeting of two families and two generations. However, a series of coincidences causes the family celebration to turn into a confrontation of attitudes and views. Do their families have more in common or more in common? Alina and Piotr must decide what is most important to them in life and what their "new way of life" should really look like.
