Victory Square
Victory Square is the contemporary story of Tania and Nastia, a mother and daughter in Minsk, Belarus, whose close-knit relationship begins to suffer when each becomes romantically attached to a man the other despises. The daughter’s unfolding love affair with a Jewish hustler and the mother’s relationship with a high-art poet who has written a new version of « Hamlet » are twin narratives that lead to their current troubles, misunderstandings and constant parent/child role switching. Filmed over a five-year period, it’s a haunting yet comic look at the generation gap and post-Soviet social classes as « black-marketeers » which replace the socialist « People’s Artist» in the prestigious upper class.
