White Snail

Masha, a Belarusian model dreaming of a job in China, crosses paths with Misha, a painter who works the night-shift at the morgue in Minsk. Despite seeming so different, a maelstrom of intimate friendship and mutual attraction unfolds between them. The tragic love story of two outsiders who need to meet each other to realize they are not alone.
