Synopsis
- A film about Eduardas Jonusas, Lithuanian painter, sculptor, philosopher and poet. An individual caught between nightmare and art. Art that finds its space in apocalyptic world views and allows the artist to overcome his trauma and survive. The film takes us back to Jonusas’ past: idyllic rural childhood, Soviet invasion in 1945, torture in a KGB prison. Whether cleverly outwitting the KGB in the 60s and 70s or fighting for freedom as Russian tanks roll into Vilnius in 1991, Jonusas always manages to defend himself.
