The film tackles the fate of the Lithuanian woman of the 19th century, eternal themes of love and faithfulness, crime and punishment, the nation’s fight for liberty. The screenplay Žolės šaknys (Grass Roots) written by Vidmantė Jasukaitytė, compiled from her two stories fuses several historical layers, the past and the present. Visions where the living and the dead meet obliterate the line of time, because, to quote one character “everything is eternal and there is neither beginning nor end”. —haussite.net
