Vilko dantu karoliai

There is a strange relic in Tadas' workshop, a wolf-teeth necklace that was given to him by his father, who together with thousands of in- nocent people had suffered the hardships of deportation to Siberia. The necklace calls up memories of painter/writer Tadas's childhood and adolescence. At that time Tadas lived in poverty with his mother, who had to bear the brunt of being a deportee's wife. Tadas was sent to the village to live with his grandmother leva-Marija and his uncle Jokubas, as his mother was not able to provide enough food for them in the city. Tadas spent the brightest years of his childhood in the village. Now he recalls leva-Marija and her fairytales, Kastulis, who was hit by lightning, his father's letters sent from Siberia, his longing for his father, and his big betrayal, which he cannot forget and for which he can never forgive himself.
