Eglė (spruce) is the story that Lithuanians grew up with. Many years ago the Lithuanian folk epic "Eglė, Queen of Snakes" brought together three of the best-known artists - the composer Laimis Vilkončius, the songwriter and interpreter Vytautas Kernagis and the poet Sigitas Geda for an experiment.
About what we were, what we are and what we will carry with us for the next century.
