This film is a true story of the journey from the late 1930s to 1950 of five Lithuanian families whose lives became intertwined as they do what they have to do to survive the 1940 and 1944 Soviet Russian invasions and the 1941 Nazi German invasion. It is a chronicle of the choices each family made to try and escape to freedom.
A journey that required them to always try and stay one step ahead of their oppressors and as refugees adjust to the new rules of their guardians, or face execution by Russian tyrannical despots.
