Movie Description

Troubled by the worsening political climate of late 1930‘s, a Lithuanian geography professor convinces the prime minister to establish a tropical colony overseas that should serve as an emergency exit for the nation in case of attack. Lulled by the illusion of paradise on earth, the geographer fails to admit a gradual break-up of his own family that mirrors the collapse of the country. The debut feature won the main prizes at the Athens and Riga Film Festival.
