The world is in transit: a plethora of people live in separation from their land, in limbo, in weightlessness, in waiting. The story of Aliaksei Kuzmich, one of those "transit people": through arrest and beatings that followed, through escape from the harshest detention center on Okrestina street in Minsk, through forced emigration, and yet another escape—up to the moment of putting down his roots in new places in Europe. All that struggle just to one day return to the point from which the movement began: Nyamiha, Belarus, August 9, 2020.
