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.
