In The Dusk

synopsis

Lithuania, 1948. The war is over, but the country is left in ruins. 19-year-old Untė is a member of the Partisan movement resisting Soviet occupation. They do not fight on equal terms, but this desperate struggle will determine the future of the whole population. At the age of discovery of life, Untė will also be confronted with violence and betrayal. The lines are blurred between the burning passion of his youth and the cause for which he is fighting.  He is ready to commit himself to the fullest, at the risk of loosing his innocence.
