Nova Lituania

Synopsis

As 1938 draws to a close, a palpable anxiety settles over Lithuania, threatening to overshadow the joyous celebration of its independence. Fear of an encroaching war sparks a radical proposal from a brilliant geographer, who approaches the nation's president with an audacious plan: establish a “Nova Lituania” – a reserve country across the ocean – to safeguard the population should the homeland fall. This dramatic period piece explores the moral complexities and desperate hopes ignited by such an extraordinary proposition in the shadow of impending global conflict.
