In 1941, at the height of WWII, Stalin's Red Army violently invades and ruthlessly deports Baltic families from their homes. Among them, promising young artist Lina, along with her mother and younger brother, are exiled to a remote and brutal Soviet labour camp. But despite being separated from her father and subjected to daily oppression, Lina remains resilient. Her strength and unwavering optimism shows through in her art...and inspires others to have faith that they may have a future.
