In the film by Andrei Kutsila the eponymous walls surround a Minsk prison filled by the police with detained protesters. Relatives gather in front of the gate, trying to get any information about their loved ones. Hope mixes with uncertainty, but the faces skillfully captured by the camera show no sign of resignation. Nobody hides their views here. People free of fear meet outside prison walls.
