Lithuania, 1941: Vincentas makes a Faustian pact with an SS officer: in exchange for the safety of himself and his Jewish lover, Judita, he will photograph—"make art" of—the mass killings of Jews in the villages and forests of his occupied homeland. Through the metaphor of photography, Sigitas Parulskis lays bare the passivity and complicity of his countrymen in the darkest chapter of Lithuania's recent history, in which 94 percent of its Jewish population perished.
