Faced with a turning point in fate and history – the occupation of Lithuania – two brothers chose different paths: one became a partisan, the other a stribas (a member of the Lithuanian police force during the Soviet occupation). Between them remained their beloved sister, who loved them both. This is a story told by the grandfather of the play's choreographer, Darius Berulis, which took place in post-war Lithuania and unfolds in a space reminiscent of a forest at night, covered in black soil and lit by lanterns.

The play invites us to recognize March 11 within ourselves. This family drama highlights universal human experiences: inner conflicts, loneliness, betrayal, and the struggle for one's values. What would have to happen for your brother, sister, or friend to become your mortal enemy? How can you come to terms with the choices of your loved ones? How can you protect them?

I'm Charlie, said Paris.

I am a kindergarten in Mariupol, said Vytautas Landsbergis.

I am in favor of that, said my grandfather.

And who am I?
