Ruslyk, the president's personal film director, tries to save the world while battling mental illness. During his endless one-day odyssey through the city of Minsk he encounters doctors, politicians, propagandists, artists, drunks and lowlifes.
ULYSSES had its world premiere in the main section of Ji.hlava IDFF.
“A broad reflection on the Belarusian experience”, — Martin Kudláč, Cineuropa.
Nikita Lavretski (1994, Minsk, Belarus) is “the most interesting gagman of the invisible Belarusian scene” (per Cahiers du Cinema). His debut feature “Belarusian Psycho” (2015) won the Best Belarusian Film Award at Minsk International Film Festival Listapad. Since 2020, his dissident movies, blending fiction and nonfiction, screened at Ji.hlava IDFF, ArtDocFest, Filmadrid, and Doclisboa, with “A Date in Minsk” winning the International Competition at the latter festival.
