The BIX rock bar in Vilnius was designed by Saulius Urbonavičius-Samas, the frontman of the cult rock band BIX, which was formed in Šiauliai in 1987. The film also used archival footage of BIX concerts from the 1990s to illustrate the time period. This new story captures the free and playful essence of BIX’s rebellious spirit, which once led Samas and the band to West Berlin, where they shared a stage with Nirvana. Samas, a painter and karate fan, was followed and 're-educated' by the KGB and helped spark the punk movement that protested against Soviet restrictions. Along with teacher Grikis and friends, they recorded forbidden songs away from the authorities.

A journey into the lived reality of international human rights, observed from within long-term relationships and shared time. At its centre stands Ales Bialiatski, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, whose presence emerges through the voices of those who have lived and worked alongside him over decades. The film is carried by two women - his wife Natalia Pinchuk and his closest colleague Sasha Koulaeva. Through memory, routine gestures and years of shared experience, they reveal what it means to remain with someone when history moves in circles rather than forward. Moving across places marked by authoritarian experience, from Belarus to Tunisia and Colombia, the film follows a recurring rhythm of hope, exhaustion and return, linking human rights defenders across borders and generations. A film shaped by endurance, loyalty and the quiet persistence of human dignity over time.
