In the rainy, somber city of Minsk, under the shadow of war, beauty and death meet in the same cold atmosphereAfter the death of her hospital roommate, Masha—a young woman dreaming of becoming a model in China—meets Misha, a morgue worker, in an encounter that upends her understanding of the body, beauty, and mortality. Featuring non-professional actors, the film explores the fragile bond between the two characters, probing the boundaries of desire and loneliness. With its unpredictable narrative structure and melancholic visual aesthetic, White Snail—winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Locarno Film Festival—illuminates the quiet resilience within ordinary lives in Belarus.
