Storyline
The story of the film begins in 1984, when a group of architects decided to organize a one-night music band as a New Year’s party joke in Kaunas, Lithuania. Imposing make-up and props, stylized show, and lyrics created pervasive caricature of the Soviet propaganda and perfectly discrediting the absurd of the Soviet reality. Soon their intellectual clownery grew into the Rock Marches – massive events involving thousands of people – that transformed into big meetings for Lithuanian Independence later named the Singing Revolution. This is the story about the people who raised their independence with the smiles and songs regardless of the dangerous situation.
