In Lithuania even though WWII ended, during the second Soviet occupation the war was still raging on. It lasted at least another 10 years. This war is called partisan war, because numerous priests, students, grammar-school boys, teachers, former officers of independent Lithuania went out to fight against the Soviet occupants and their local collaborators. The occupants did not manage to destroy this opposition by force, so they resorted to other means. One of them – local collaborators’ integration into the midst of the partisans.
Our film will be telling just such a story of a “double-agent” – a talented poet, literati, kicked out from the Lithuanian SSR writer’s union for anti-Soviet literature, recruited by the KGB, to establish contact with the partisans. For this betrayal (paying for his sins) he was promised a return to the Soviet Lithuanian elite strata. But paradoxically, even when he was a Soviet agent, once he ended up in the forest, he managed to “forget himself” – he wrote great partisan poems, anti-Soviet satires, songs. Only later, caught once again by the KGB, one more time he agreed to betray those, who had now become his friends – the partisans.
