Ja, Andrei Iwanowitsch

In the organizer's words:

Andrei Ivanovich Moiseenko is one of the last survivors of the Buchenwald concentration camp and forced labor at the HASAG company in Leipzig. Born in 1926 in Budjonowka/Oblast Tsсhernihiw, Soviet Union (today Ukraine), he was deported to Leipzig at the age of 15 for forced labor - at HASAG, the largest armaments company in Saxony. He was initially deployed there in production and oiled machine parts, but later had the opportunity to escape the focus of the supervisors and move to the spare parts warehouse. As he was suspected of being the leader of a group of young insurgents, he was sent to a Gestapo prison in Leipzig. During the day, he was taken to work on farms, then back to prison in the evening. Around two months passed without Andrei finding out why he had ended up in prison or what would happen to him next. Finally, in May 1944, he was deported to Buchenwald concentration camp. Today Andrei Ivanovich lives in Minsk, Belarus.
The film team accompanied Andrei Ivanovich for over a year with the camera, harvested honey with him at his dacha, sat together with his neighbor over vodka and sausage sandwiches, traveled with him and his best friend Albertovich to Weimar for the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Buchenwald and filmed Andrei in countless everyday situations.
The film shows a man who is not at odds with his fate, who faces every day and every person with curiosity, who is long-suffering but not bitter. (Farlock, D BY 2018)
