Three stories from each Baltic country about tragic love, but always with a political background. The time is (shortly?) before the liberation.

Three episodes from three Baltic nations, all about lost love. In Estonia a political prisoner is set free. Meanwhile his best friend had stolen his girl and now defends his political cowardice: 'Some of us must be left outside the prisons to pursue the political fight.' - In Latvia a Russian soldier has a Latvian girlfriend. Her Latvian friends accept her boyfriend. But his two closest soldier friends beat him up, tear the clothes of his girl and threaten to rape her. The loving couple understands that they cannot continue their relationship. - In Lithuania a priest student and an Estonian stripper fall in deep love. The student's uncle is an enlightened priest who says: 'I bless you whatever road you choose to go.' The couple sleep together and agree to meet at the railway station the next morning and go to Estonia. But when the student comes home his uncle has died. With great pain he decides to abandon the girl and take care of his uncle's body. On the train the girl weeps because of her lost love.
