Letters to Sofija

This poignant tale, inspired by true events, chronicles the passionate relationship between Lithuanian artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis and the woman he cherished, Sofija Kymantaite. Born in 1875 to a humble peasant family, Ciurlionis quickly emerged as a prodigious talent in both painting and music, creating works of profound depth and intensity. However, his life was marred by a debilitating mental illness that haunted him throughout his years. Despite the challenges, Sofija, a journalist and political activist, stood by him, providing unwavering support as he crafted over 300 paintings and musical compositions during his brief but impactful life.
