She lived a life of war, atrocities, and loss, but never gave in to hatred. She chose forgiveness over revenge, dialogue over silence and love over hostility. This not only helped her survive - it also offers new perspectives on hope for today.
This deeply personal film reveals the journey of one of the most iconic figures of Lithuanian culture - Irena Veisaitė - through the cruelties of two regimes and her inner light, which became an inspiration to generations. More than a historical testimony, it is, in these turbulent times, a reminder of how one person’s stance can change the world.
