To a soundtrack of their unique ‘Russophone Bolsha Nova Folk n’Roll’, Sasha Ilyukevich and the Highly Skilled Migrants take you on a rollercoaster of comedic chaos and heartrending disaster as their self-(dis)organised tour of the former USSR goes from bad to worse. When Sasha eventually takes his wounded pride of musicians back to his childhood home in Belarus, the stage is set for an unexpectedly moving finale.
