OWL MOUNTAIN

Audrius Juzènas, 2018 | 135 minutes

Owl Mountain is sweeping a historical drama set in the turbulent immediate post-WWII period in Lithuania. Radio Free Europe, BBC, and Voice of America only rarely get through the Soviet imposed Iron Curtain in Lithuania, a country now torn by a war between the local resistance movement and the occupying Soviet regime. Anyone who dares to resist Soviet rule is terrorized, executed, or exiled to Siberia. Tedas is one of the local high-school students who witness the local armed resistance to the Soviet occupation and decides to join by taking up arms. Determined and daring, Tedas also collects documents and all kinds of evidence that prove crimes against Lithuania by the Kremlin, becoming a legend among his peers. But getting noticed may not be the most helpful thing for Tedas, as he will discover soon enough.
