Test-730

Daria Korol

Belarus, 2016, 61 Min

Sketches on the trials and tribulations of Belarusian university graduates whose studies were made possible with the help of government scholarships: on graduation they are required to work wherever the state should send them, a duty that entails neither postings to places these youngsters dream of, nor the best-paid jobs.
