Shortly after the fall of the USSR, 12-year-old Kovas travels to his mother Viktorija’s homeland for the first time.

It has been 20 years since she escaped Soviet-Occupied Lithuania and has now returned to reclaim her beloved family estate.

When they find the tattered estate occupied by an impoverished Russian family, they must consider how far they are willing to go to keep their dreams intact.
