Flowers of the Provinces
Цветы провинции
In a provincial Belarusian town in the early 1970s, a young aspiring poet is left effectively orphaned by his mother's death while his estranged father remains absent from his life. As he steps into adulthood, he keeps circling back to the unanswered question of why she died. An introspective, autobiographical coming-of-age drama.
