For those directly experiencing war, the choices are clear: fight or flee. However, being further away from him, the questions multiply: to be interested or to ignore, to make silent sacrifices or to join forces and actively resist? More than a hundred members of the Lithuanian film community gathered in the voluntary film project "Letter to Ukraine", the purpose of which is to record what is happening in our country at this difficult time. In the center of the film is a person near the war: a passer-by, a protester, a volunteer, a doctor, an artist. Are we doing enough and is there any hope of influencing the outcome of the war?

The tense situations of such organizations as "Blue/Yellow", "Stiprūs Kartu" and others are revealed in the film. behind the scenes. The film was born and continues its life with the unification of hundreds of members of the film community.
