A personal diary that takes Mekas back to his childhood in Lithuania and the focal events of his life: fleeing the country with his brother Adolfas during WWII, the time they spent in a labor camp in Germany, and their absorption in the United States after the War. The film is composed of three parts: the first is based on materials shot by Mekas on 16 mm in New York between 1950-1953; the second documents the journey of the director and his brother in 1972 to their home village Semeniškiai, 27 years after their departure; the third part focuses on their experiences in a labor camp near Hamburg amid the War and their life as displaced persons after it. This is Mekas' second complete cinematic diary following Walden.
