(1 votes)An Irish language poet travels to Lithuania to tell the story of the 19th century Book Smugglers, who risked their lives to protect Lithuanian against Russification, by smuggling books, newspapers, magazines into the country from Prussia and distributing them along clandestine networks.
In doing so, the poet is bound to reflect on the decline of his own language, and the relationship between the language we speak and our national and personal identity.
