Roman and Sofia wake up alone on a small deserted island. The last thing they remember is being interrogated and tortured by the regime in Belarus after their supposedly planned attack on Minsk was prevented. How did they end up here and by whom? But what Roman is more urgently interested in is whether this place is real or just a figment of their imagination, and their bodies remain in a concrete basement. Locked up they are either way. While Sofia tries to take advantage of the fact that they are together, Roman continues to brood, counting grains of sand. When the two figures Luka and his lackey Durak appear and claim to have crashed with the balloon right above the island, a new dynamic comes into play.
Based on dictator Lukashenko's demonstration of power in May 2021, Stefan Schütz imagines the fictional house arrest of activist Roman Protashevich and his girlfriend Sofia. They were on board a passenger plane bound for Vilnius, which Lukashenko forced to land in Minsk by means of the military in order to arrest them. Who can the two still trust? What is real and what is fiction?
