Plot
[edit]The film begins in German-occupied Lithuania in 1941. Max is a boy from the Jewish ghetto. His mother and younger sister were murdered by the Nazis at the beginning of the war. Laima is Lithuanian, the daughter of a charcoal burner who had served in the fascist Sonderkommando, during the war. The two fall in love, but they struggle to understand each other. It is even harder to remain decent people in such historical conditions and political situation. "Baltic Tango" is a love drama, a kind of story like Romeo and Juliet, set in the tragic circumstances of the 1940s Europe.
