Documentary and fiction create a precarious balance in this well-crafted experiment. The actors - the young, vulnerable immigrant and the homeless man - met for the first time during their first take together. The raw documentary footage from Belarus intercut with the story make Lubaben 'a fiction composed of different layers of documentary', as director Eva Pervolovici writes in her director's notes.
