Last Summer of a Solitary Homestead

During the Soviet industrialization of Lithuanian rural countryside, following the nationalization of private ownership of land, the dispersed solitary homesteads were resettled to the centralized Kolkhoz villages.
The documentary by Robertas Verba shows the Ukmegė district, Salomėja Nėris Kolkhoz celebrating the last family being moved from an ancient wooden house into a newly built home in the village of Sardokai. The film, being an official Soviet documentary, through double meaning critically explores newly constructed life by contrasting it with the world of the solitary homestead, full of memories all erased in the process of melioration turning the land into industrial, centrally governed territory.
