It is impossible to overestimate what happened in January 1923 in Klaipėda region. One of the most daring, complex, clever secret operations in the history of our country comes to life on cinema screens.
France, which hosted Klaipėda region a century ago, is preparing to declare it an independent state. For 15 years, it would be controlled by a foreigner - the League of Nations. It would be a disaster for Lithuania without Vilnius and its region. At stake is the future of Lithuania and the need to have an open window to the world - Klaipėda seaport. The then Prime Minister Ernestas Galvanauskas initiates the most spectacular secret military operation in the history of Lithuania - the men of the Special Purpose Team disguised as civilians stage an uprising and coup of the local population.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"></font> "Blizzard near Mēmelis. The saga of the liberation of Klaipėda" is a historical re-enactment documentary film with reconstructed images, events, heroes from the historian prof. Alfonso Eidinto's books of the same name. This is the most interesting history lesson about the event that had great significance for the independence of our country, its economy and politics - for the 100th anniversary of the annexation of Klaipėda region to Lithuania, which we will celebrate in 2023.
