The Poet

A newly appointed teacher arrives at a remote village school in 1947. The famous journalist and distinguished poet was downgraded for illegal publications and forbidden anti-Soviet verses.

Eventually, an unforgotten friend shows him a secret wintery path to the Dainava resistance platoon's underground bunker.

Ieva
Director
Inside a lab, a robot is created. Like a newborn, it analyses its surroundings with the primitive senses and limited knowledge it has. While exploring such fundamental concepts as distance, weight, light and size, the robot tries to perform basic physical tasks that would resemble natural human motion. It fails miserably but keeps on learning. Perhaps a less intelligent life form such as a dog will be less critical when assessing what it means to be human?
