    Synopsis

    Belarus in December 2020. It has become quiet on the streets of Minsk, where just a few months ago thousands of demonstrators were protesting against the outcome of the presidential elections. Lukashenko used all the force he could muster against the demonstrators, and many of the participants are now in prison. In public, only the red-white-red colours symbolizes still that the resistance against the autocratic regime nevertheless continues. The film "Colours in the Snow" gives a multi-layered insight into how the lives of eight Belarusian women have changed fundamentally since August 2020.
