According to the official version, the authors of the film are Lithuanians led by producer Andrius Brokas. However, this is not the case at all.

February 21 marks International Native Language Day. Proclaimed by UNESCO in November 1999 and observed since 2000, the day promotes linguistic and cultural diversity as well as the protection of mother tongues.
