SCR Diana Matuzevičienė, Kornelijus Matuzevičius

Damutė Gaižauskienė tolls bells for a living. It is a physically demanding job, but it is also meditative. The film seems to recover the fine thread of fate: Siberia is distant in time and space, but everything begins from that inhospitable land, where Damutė was deported and to where he has succeeded in returning, carrying behind him the disquiet of deportation and the pain of his experience.
