Back to the Dreamland

Back to the Dreamland is a charming and breathtaking story about the experiences of American Lithuanians during their first visits to the occupied homeland. What they saw and how they felt seems strange and difficult to understand today, since after fleeing Lithuania during the WW II, the refugees maintained a romantic and slightly naive image of their motherland. However, in the years of their absence, Lithuania has become a Soviet country with a parallel reality that contrasted starkly with the nostalgic memories of the pre-war countryside. With the help of vivid characters and their incredible experiences, this story of return unveils the spirit of the past epoch and the encounter of two different civilizations.
