Juratė and Vilma, two young sis­ters from Li­t­hua­nia get to know about their Ger­man grand­mo­ther’s love story that led her to ra­di­cal choices and chan­ged her life. In 1945, Ella left her fle­e­ing fa­mi­ly be­hind and tur­ned back to Li­t­hua­nia to meet the Li­t­hua­ni­an man she was sup­po­sed to marry. He disap­pears; she stays, mar­ries ano­ther man and starts a fa­mi­ly. The two sis­ters start their own in­ves­ti­ga­ti­on in order to trace back the man, in be­lief that re­con­nec­ting them will ful­fill Ella’s dream even if in a sym­bo­lic way. At the same time this helps them cla­ri­fy ques­ti­ons about their own iden­ti­ty. Howe­ver, some un­p­lea­sant sides in the his­to­ry of the fa­mi­ly will come to light that would be bet­ter off bu­ried in ob­li­vi­on.
