Yasha is 14, he lives in Novoperedelkino (Moscow suburb), loves to wear extraordinary outfits, play games with his younger sister and listen to vinyl records in his family collection. And he also sings in a band Zavodoy, which he named after his childhood toy. The band performs in festivals, shoots MVs and writes songs about punks, podcasts and instant noodles. The film “Konechno!” is about a young artist with an exceptional creativity, who just discovers the world of Moscow indie music. His childlike innocence doesn’t interfere with success, on the contrary, it serves as a source of limitless inspiration.

to remember. Viktor Sergeevich is worried about the partially lost Belarusian culture, in particular the demolished historical centre of Minsk. Walking through the streets of Minsk, he always notices the "modern replica" and likes to remember how the city looked before the restructuring.
