My New Life

About This Movie

So, 'My New Life' is this intriguing mix of comedy and drama that really dives into the lives of Piotr and Alina, both 30-somethings caught in the grind of city life. Alina's hustling at a casino, dreaming of directing, while Piotr's voice echoes through an alternative radio station, working behind the scenes for political change in Belarus. The engagement day, which should be all smiles, takes a turn that reveals a lot about their hopes and struggles. There's this palpable tension throughout, blending humor with raw emotion. The performances feel quite genuine, really capturing the essence of what it’s like to chase dreams in a chaotic world. Not your usual rom-com fare, but it does have its moments that linger with you.
