Isaac

The film starts in 1941 when the main character kills a Jew, Isaac, at the Lietukis garage massacre in Lithuania. Years later he is haunted by the images of the past and an increasing burden of guilt. The film discusses themes of friendship, love, regret and self-liberation in the difficult historical context of the Holocaust and post war Soviet era in Lithuania.

My take

A haunting portrait of guilt and redemption set against the shadow of the Holocaust. This is for viewers ready to sit with difficult history and the weight of moral reckoning—a film that doesn't look away.
