LT: Pasakojimas apie du žmones, kurių vienas saugo sieną, o kitas ją neteisėtai perėjo. Ir aplinkybes, dėl kurių jų istorijos susikirto.

ENG:  In the summer of 2021, dozens, and later hundreds, of people started illegally crossing the Lithuanian border from Belarus every day. As a result, Lithuania reinforced its border protection, building a metal fence and a barbed-wire barrier and assigning troops to help the border guards. 
Lithuania and the European Union say that this is a “hybrid attack” orchestrated by the Minsk regime, which has taken advantage of the desire of thousands of people – mainly Iraqi Kurds but also Syrians, Congolese, Afghans, and others – to reach Western Europe and have a safer and better life there. This is the story about two people – one guarding the border, the other crossing it illegally – and the circumstances that have led to the intersection of their stories.

Tai istorija apie nežinia kur iš M. K. Čiurlionio paveikslo dingusius debesis. Per atsitiktinumą rasta 100 metų senumo fotografija užminė mįslę menotyrininkams, restauratoriams ir šio pasakojimo autorei, Rūtai Dambravaitei. Beieškodama tų debesų, ji pažino byrančią pastelę, vėjo gausmą grikiuose, gelstantį popierių ir tai, kas pasiklydę kažkur tarp meno ir mokslo.

English synopsis

Eight years ago a high-school student Rūta Dambravaitė took a closer look at one old photograph and made an observation which raised many questions for art researchers and restorers. 

The photograph features M.K. Čiurlionis – Lithuanian painter, composer and writer, also considered one of the pioneers of abstract art in Europe. He is standing next to a display of his now-famous cycle of 10 paintings, “Fantasies”. One of them looks slightly different from the only original known today.  

In 2018, now a radio producer, Rūta starts an investigation that leads to uncover unheard-of stories about the Lithuanian genius, crumpling paper, restoration, kinds of wind and something that is lost in between art and science.

M. K. Čiurlionio paveikslo paslaptis// The Mystery of Čiurlionis

[ENG below]

Per 2020-ųjų pavasarį Lietuvoje nustatyta 1676 užsikrėtimo atvejai naujuoju koronavirusu, o nuo jo sukeltos ligos mirė 71 žmogus. Lietuva buvo pristatoma kaip viena geriausiai pirmąją bangą suvaldžiusių šalių. 

Tada niekas dar neįsivaizdavo, kad rudenį kasdien bus nustatoma kelis kartus daugiau atvejų nei per visą pavasarį. O kelios dešimtys žmonių bus įrašomi į vienos dienos mirčių statistiką. Metų pabaigoje Lietuva atsidūrė pirmoje vietoje Europoje pagal užsikrėtimų skaičių ir viena pirmųjų pagal mirtingumą.

Keturi žmonės nuotoliniu būdu prodiusuotoje dokumentikoje apie šiuos metus ir kardinaliai pasikeitusią situaciją pasakoja per savo asmenines patirtis.

English synopsis
Over spring 2020, Lithuania diagnosed 1,676 cases of the novel coronavirus, while 71 people died of the disease it caused. Lithuania was lauded as a success story of containing the pandemic during its first wave.
Few could imagine that, come autumn, there’d be more new infections a day than there were during the three months of spring. And dozens of people would be added to daily death tolls. By the end of the year, Lithuania was number one in Europe by infections and near the top by deaths.

In this remotely produced documentary four people share their personal experiences from the year of radical reversal. Angry passengers pushing through an airport, four-hour labours in an air-tight suit, neighbours forbidding their kids to talk to yours, and ever more present death. And throughout all that, the simple desire to keep enjoying one’s trade and one’s work.
