Lithuania
Synopsis
The film discusses themes of guilt, friendship, love, regret and self-liberation in the difficult historical context of the Holocaust and post war Soviet era in Lithuania.
Director's Statement
I wouldn’t call this a film a historical drama, I think it's more of a dream about a period of time, where we tried to re-invent history through stories, photographs and films. In order to create our own world. I see it more as a bad dream from which you can’t wake up.
