Icchokas Meras

Arūnas, an 18 year old high-school graduate from the port town, is going through a crisis. He is stressed by the school routine. At home, his father bores Arūnas with his constant recollections about fighting in an antifascist guerrilla squad, while his mother unexpectedly turns back to her old dream of becoming an artist and decides to leave the house, taking her younger son Saulius with her. His father ends up in hospital, because of a grenade fragment lodged in his spine since the war. Arūnas is surrounded by the betrayal of friends.

The daily life of a provincial Lithuanian town in the 1960s. From preparations for two early summer events, dramas emerge in the life of each of the characters, who are forced to deal with conundrums.

This “naive” film, as the author himself calls it, is a kind of confession of a young man. Driven by an inexplicable impulse, high school graduates ran away from a formal museum tour.
