The film focuses on two young people in Belarus, Volga and Andrej, members of different oppositional youth movements. The film shows their activities and explores their reasons to get politically engaged. The story of these two young people contrasts with the story the spokesman of the Belarusian Patriotic Youth Union, the official state organization, which is supported and financed by the president. The three stories are woven together and show how normal young people deal in different ways with an abnormal reality.
