The Poet

A newly appointed teacher arrives at a remote village school in 1947. The famous journalist and distinguished poet was downgraded for illegal publications and forbidden anti-Soviet verses.

Eventually, an unforgotten friend shows him a secret wintery path to the Dainava resistance platoon's underground bunker.
