Synopsis

A deeply personal, auteur-led documentary follows two Lithuanian sisters—a filmmaker and a photographer—on a quest to uncover their German grandmother’s hidden past. As they sift through letters, photos and family memories, they unearth a wartime love story, a desperate escape, the stigma of being German in Soviet Lithuania and a haunting pattern of suicides that has shadowed their family for generations. Confronting silence and taboo, their investigation forces long-overdue conversations and becomes both an outward search for truth about another person and an inward reckoning with what they have inherited and what they will leave behind.
