Perekrestok

Valery Liashkevich is a homeless artist who lives at a railway station and for over twenty years has painted pictures in the streets of the Belorussian town of Gomel. For the natives, he is no more than a local attraction, but the filmmakers set out to show that this eccentric artist and philosopher has many important truths to tell: on the meaning of life, that his work and attitude towards the world make deep sense. Two large exhibitions of his works – one of them at the National Art Museum in Minsk – sparked the interest of art critics. The documentary was made with private money to support this extremely talented artist.
