In 2020 Belarus, journalist Lena secretly livestreams a peaceful demonstration against Lukashenko's regime. As police storm the streets, her broadcast is traced and she is abruptly arrested. Her husband Ilya faces an impossible choice: remain steadfast and fight for her release, or comply with the regime to spare them both.

« Under The Grey Sky rings with an authenticity laced with quiet rage. » (Journey Into Cinema)

« A subtle yet convincing portrayal of life under the dictatorship in Belarus » (Cineuropa)

« It's a heart breaking tale of political abuse and the things we do for the ones we love. » (Unseen Films Reviews)
