Inspired by the story of Franak Viachorka.
Miron (23 y.) is not interested in politics, he thinks his friends from the democratic opposition make just a bunch of daydreamers.
However, the next concert of his "apolitical" rock band triggers off an anti-regime manifestation among the audience. Miron, despite his inborn heart disease is enlisted for the army for 15 months by way of punishment for " fomenting political unrest among young people".
In his military unit, Miron has to face up abject conditions which do not meet basic human needs and the absurdity of Soviet-inspired indoctrination. For the commanding officers, ubiquitous "hazing" is a means of manipulation of their conscript soldiers.
Miron starts secretly , via an "illegal" mobile dictating his girlfriend Vera his diary of "a conscript soldier". The diary posted by Vera on an internet blog shows the army as a miniature version of the social and political relations in Lukashenko's Belarus. Miron combines fragments of the blog into satirical song "in honour of the army and the regime" , and they soon become real hits among young people. The regime starts a plot to discredit and crush Miron...
