Synopsis

There is a story of a drowned bell, lying for several hundred years on the bottomof one Lithuanian lake. During the war with Sweden, cart loaded with the bell wascrossing the bridge, it was hit by a cannon-ball and sank. Hit by a cannon-ball during
the war with Sweden, a cart with the bell sank in the lake after falling fromthe bridge. The underwater expedition tries to find the bell and buoy it up fromthe bottom of the lake. The Film records exhaustive work, despair and joy insidethe team going under water closer to the legend, covered by sand. Maybe it is justa legend. Maybe there is no bell in the lake. Maybe it is just a fairy tale, an echoe
of some lost civilization.
