Poetas

In a stark portrayal of artistic compromise and resistance, "Poetas" (The Poet) brings to life the true story of Kostas Kubilinskas, a poet whose work was forced into submission by the Soviet regime in 1947. The film follows Kubilinskas as he navigates his new role as a teacher at a remote village school, where he is tasked with reciting poetry that praises Lenin to young students. Meanwhile, whispers of dissent from an underground resistance movement threaten to upend his carefully constructed facade.
