The story of "The Leap" director Giedrė Žickytė is a touching tribute to the outstanding figure of Lithuanian culture, Irena Veisaitė. Having survived the Holocaust, having lost loved ones, but not succumbing to hatred, she chose forgiveness instead of revenge, dialogue instead of silence, and love instead of hatred, and became an inspiration to many.
This personal film is not only a historical testimony, but also a reminder in these turbulent times of how attitude can change the world, and an invitation to rethink the importance of humanity and dialogue.
