Wiki.

Owl Mountain (Pelėdų kalnas) is a 2017 Lithuanian historical drama feature film directed by Audrius Juzėnas. The film portrays political and historical events between 1947-1953 in Lithuania, when the Lithuanian population conducted guerrilla warfare against the Soviet authorities that occupied the country in an attempt to gain independence. The Soviet authorities reacted to the Lithuanian partisans by arresting and deporting several to Siberia, whilst killing others.

The film shows the lives of some young people from wealthy Kaunas families, from their studies in an independent Lithuania before going through war and occupation. They were forced to choose to emigrate from Lithuania, to join partisans in resisting the Soviets or to adapt.

The film was supported by Lithuanian movies center and released on a symbolic date – February 16, 2018 - for the 100th anniversary of the Act of Independence of Lithuania.
