Utterly Alone


Utterly Alone is a 2004 Lithuanian film directed by Jonas Vaitkus, based on real events, about Juozas Lukša, a Lithuanian partisan who fought against the Soviet occupation of Lithuania in the years immediately following World War II. The film is set in 1950–51 and shot in black and white.

Plot

The film portrays Lukša's attempts, during trips to western Europe, to gain support for the armed anti-Soviet resistance, whose fortunes in a guerrilla war against Soviet authorities were waning, largely due to widespread infiltration and harsh crackdowns by the NKVD. The film depicts Lukša being killed in an ambush in Lithuania, although his body has never been found.
