Having experienced the loss of the killed brother, director Audrius Mickevičius went to the Lukiškės prison to examine the paradox of “exemplary behaviour”. Mickevičius met Rimantas and Rolandas, sentenced to life but driven by the hope of change. Mickevičius himself experienced the journey from anger to forgiveness, which was interrupted by his terminal disease.

Director’s statement:
A few years ago, my elder brother was killed by two men. One of the murderers escaped punishment while the second, who took the blame for the crime, was later released from jail for exemplary behaviour. This made me decide to conduct socio-artistic research on what “exemplary behaviour” can mean in the case of a murderer.
