It would be splendid, yet...

The year is 1992. Lithuania is already independent. The world is watching the events here. Lithuanian citizens celebrate the regained Freedom and… enjoy imported goods which are filling up the shops that used to be empty in the Soviet years. However, the time of the “deficits” is not yet over. The story takes place in a factory, where the workers draw lots. The winner will have a chance to buy an IMPORTED refrigerator. Everyone hankers for the fridge, but the main character of the film Danguolė wants it most of all. Danguolė doesn‘t win the fridge. It’s even worse – her neighbor does. But the main character is not left empty-handed: she wins the SPECIAL prize. This means she will be entitled to welcome an American press-photographer who is coming to Lithuania in three days. Danguolė and her family are to represent the New Lithuania to the world in a photo reportage to be issued. This way the factory worker Danguolė becomes a kind of a Lithuanian ambassador. —blueseafilmfestival.net
