The Nonsense Express

The Nonsense Express follows Sasha Ilyukevich (Belarus's answer to Bob Dylan) as he leads his unsuspecting band 'The Highly Skilled Migrants' through the musical landscape of the former USSR. To a soundtrack of their unique 'Russophone Bolsha Nova Folk n'Roll', viewers are taken on a rollercoaster of comedic chaos and heartrending disaster as the disorganized tour goes from bad to worse. The film reaches a moving and thought-provoking climax in Sasha's childhood home of Belarus. There the band finally get the captive crowd they've been chasing, but not in quite the situation they had expected -- and dark political undertones emerge...
