The film commemorates the victims of the Stalinist deportations, particularly the mass deportation of July 6–9, 1949, when over 35,000 Moldovans—including nearly 12,000 children—were forcibly sent to Siberia.
Based on the testimonies of four survivors, the documentary combines personal stories with powerful re-enactments, offering a moving tribute to those who endured exile and repression. Vatamanu, a descendant of deportees herself, includes her own mother among the protagonists, adding a deeply personal dimension to the narrative.
