The Excursionist
The Excursionist (Lithuanian: Ekskursantė, "Excursionist Girl") is a 2013 Lithuanian historical drama film that dramatizes the story of an eleven-year old Lithuanian girl Marija who escapes from a Soviet deportation to Siberia. Directed by Audrius Juzėnas , with the screenplay of Pranas Morkus , it is the first Lithuanian non-documentary film about Soviet deportations. The plot is loosely based on a real-life story published in Komjaunimo tiesa (the Lithuanian edition of Komsomolskaya Pravda) in 1989.[1][2][3][4] Film languages are Lithuanian and Russian. The name of the film refers to an episode when Marija pretends to be a Russian girl strayed from an excursion.
