In 1941, Lithuanian activist Andrius Gluosnis kills a Jew Isaac at the Lietūkis garage massacre. Years later in Soviet Lithuania, his friend movie director Gutauskas returns from the USA with a screenplay of a film that tells in detail the massacre and a situation where Isaac is being killed. This screenplay becomes an evidence for an investigation that KGB began on the events of 1941. Gluosnis' friend Gutauskas becomes the main suspect. Gluosnis’ life sets about to crumble during the preparations for the film - his guilt tortures him until he gets that he has to make a peace with the victim.
