It is R. Lileikis’ auteur film that focuses on the process of understanding this world, on the tension between a teacher and a student, freedom and order, an individual and community, Earth and Heaven. The film is more about the light than unexpected changes which conforms perfectly with film director’s worldview.
The family breaks up. The boy Jonukas feels very lonely. He wants to find his mother himself. The search is long and difficult.
It has been over one hundred years since M. K. Čiurlionis left his lasting imprint on Lithuanian culture. He was a composer, painter, genius, and madman who created an entirely new space, new context, and new universe.
