In the early '90s, Lithuanian TV star Daiva loses her job as TV

studios are taken over by russian soldiers. Unable to chase

the armed men away, Daiva decides to declare a hunger

strike in a small trailer facing the occupied TV station. Only a

handful of people join, and the soldiers cannot care less.

Merely a day into the strike, reclaiming the TV already seems

like a lost fight. As hunger grows, the strikers realise what they

are truly starving for — confession and human warmth.
