This is a story about the love of two people in difficult times of war, about love that overcomes all obstacles, appearing unexpectedly, out of nowhere, taking possession of all the thoughts of the lovers...

A surrealist etude that doesn’t have a clear narrative, and is courageous in its form, unusual in the context of Lithuanian cinema at the time.

This film details the dismantling of the old railway Siaurukas in Lithuania and the construction of its new modern replacement. The old railway and the new railway become the symbol of the clash between the archaic rural Lithuania and Soviet industrialization. The film was often considered as an expression of the archetypes of Lithuanian character.

Harlequin wanders through the night streets of old Vilnius, searching for friendship and human warmth.
