About film
Vishneva, Belarus Soviet Union Poland is based on the oral testimonies of a Holocaust survivor, which were processed by his son. The majority of similar films place their focus on the interviews. Vishneva, Belarus Soviet Union Poland, on the other hand, superimposes silent images from the interview with typed memories. This intricate way shows the unspoken pain borne by father and son through half a century.
