June 1941. A quiet village in central Lithuania is shaken by the arrival of the Soviet army. The family of young Algukas is given only ten minutes to gather their belongings before they are put on a crowded freight train bound for the snowy plains of Siberia. Leaving behind their fertile land and the flow of rural life, they are forced to adapt to new harsh conditions, hunger and cold. Algukas learns to escape the daily hardships with the power of his imagination, pencils, paper and a book of Japanese haiku poems.
