Wikipedia article




'Utterly Alone' is a 2004 Lithuanian film directed by Jonas Vaitkus, based on real events, about Juozas Luka (code name Daumantas), a Lithuanian partisan who fought against the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in the years immediately following World War II. The film is set in 195051 and shot in black and white.

Plot



The film portrays Luka's attempts, during trips to Western Europe, to gain support for the armed anti-Soviet resistance (known as the Forest Brothers), whose fortunes in a guerrilla war against Soviet authorities were waning, largely due to widespread infiltration and harsh crackdowns by the NKVD. The film depicts Luka being killed in an ambush in Lithuania, although his body has never been found.
