In the video, the artist follows her grandmother, Aldona, during her daily walk through the Grutas Park in Lithuania. Founded ten years after the collapse of USSR, this privately-owned sculpture park features close to a hundred Soviet-era statues collected from all over the country. As similar statues were often taken down or destroyed in neighboring Soviet countries, the sculpture park became a unique yet controversial resource.
