The second half of the 19th century on the outskirts of Tsarist Russian Empire - a turning point, when the serfdom was abolished. The middle-rang nobleman Bernardas Gruinius runs his estate with a handful of serfs and his brittle family: an unfaithful wife and a lovely daughter. Till one day his nephew, arrogant and cunning officer, serving tsarist army intentions appears in the Gruinius’ manor with the goal to flame uprising among the naive and freed serfs. That is when Tadas Blinda, a young and carefree peasant, gets swirled into the course of snowballing events, steering him into the path of Lithuanian Robin Hood… This epic costume drama taking place in the evergreen Lithuanian forests is loosely based on the fictitious legendary character Tadas Blinda, which first came into life in the 70th in a three part TV series, and since then has gained the popularity among the audiences. The love for Lithuanian Robin Hood was proved again, and the “Fireheart. The Legend of Tadas Blinda Is Born” in no time has earned the title of the biggest Lithuanian box office of all times. The film is a feature debut of Donatas Ulvydas, who was previously exercising his film language in award-wining documentaries, TV shows and music videos. GS
