Movie description:
A famed Lithuanian painter expresses the torment of his youth through his paintings. But lately, even his work provides no solace, for he falls into deep mid-life crises and can find no inspiration. This grim, earnest and arty drama looks back upon his formative years, the joy of which was destroyed by Stalin’s policies. The darkness began for him when his father was arrested for being an enemy of the state and sent to a Siberian prison. The boy and his remaining family become social pariahs, and the only way his mother can support them is to prostitute herself to the local police and politicians. Eventually the young painter is sent to the countryside, but even there, he cannot escape the fear and oppression. To cope, he becomes hard and cynical; his mother too changes dramatically and when the father finally returns home, he finds himself among virtual strangers.
There is a strange relic in Tadas’ workshop, a wolf’s-teeth necklace that was given to him by his father, who together with thousands of innocent people had suffered the hardships of deportation to Siberia. The necklace calls up memories of painter/writer Tadas’ childhood and adolescence. At that time Tadas lived in poverty with his mother, who had to bear the brunt of being a deportee’s wife. Tadas was sent to the village to live with his grandmother Ieva-Marija and his uncle Jokubas, as his mother was not able to provide enough food for them in the city. Tadas spent the brightest years of his childhood in the village. Now he recalls Ieva-Marija and her fairytales, Kastulis, who was hit by lightning, his father’s letters sent from Siberia, his longing for his father, and his big betrayal, which he cannot forget and for which he can never forgive himself.
