A film about marginalized people who have hit rock bottom and are trying to pick themselves up again. They arrive in a remote religious community, do their daily chores, and perhaps turn to God for the first time.
In this experimental documentary, film director Algimantas Maceina reveals the theme of the exile of Lithuanian society from a very personal perspective. He films the repatriation of the remains of his grandfather from Siberia to Lithuania. This personal approach to societal tragedy – the genocide caused by the Soviet regime – links personal to collective memory and erases the boundaries between personal film archives and publicly acknowledged films.
