Set in post-WWII Lithuania, this is the story of Martin Averka who, at 14 years of age, meets a teacher who encourages him to seek out the wider world. Martin lives in a small village and works, at times, with the local resistance movement. This is a story about betrayal and revenge. And about living in a world of informers, bullies and little freedom. It's a story about seeking freedom and what form that takes. About responsibility for your family and for your comrades. Martin is looking for revenge. His wife is looking for a better life for them and their child. Can they succeed?
