The name of Alena Kish, a self-taught Belarusian artist, is known to just a few even in her own country. In the 30's - 40's of the last century she'd wander along country roads offering to paint rugs that were used to decorate rural homes of the time. Painted on handwoven canvas, these rugs were sort of 'tapestries for the poor'. Due to her unique creative manner, Alena Kish is the only Belarusian artist mentioned in the World Encyclopedia of Naive Art alongside with Henri Rousseau, Niko Pirosmani and Jaan Oad.

MAALITUD PARADIIS
Režissöör Halina Adamovitš

Liigutav dokumentaal valgevene kunstnikust Aljona Kiššist, kelle nimi on vähetuntud isegi oma kodumaal. Eelmise sajandi 30- ja 40-ndatel aastatel rändas ta külast külla ning maalis pilte kodukootud tekkidele ning vaipadele. Tänu omapärasle nägemisoskusele ja  kujutamisviisile on Aljona Kišš ainus valgevene kunstnik, kelle tööd ning elulugu on avaldatud Ülemaailmses naivistide entsüklopeedias kõrvusti Henri Rousseau, Niko Pirosmani ning Jaan Oadiga.
