According to The Ukrainian State Film Agency, the world premiere of a new film by Antonio Lukich “Luxembourg, Luxembourg” will take place at the 79th Venice International Film Festival under the HORIZONS competition programme.
“Luxembourg, Luxembourg” is the second Lukich’s feature film, preceded by ‘My Thoughts Are Silent’. The film tells a story of twin brothers trying to get their life together – up till their long-lost father pops up in it. The leading roles were performed by the members of a Kurgan and Agregat rap group – Nasirovs brothers, Ramil and Amil. The film was produced by the ForeFilms studio.
