The history of the Barcelona Olympic Games begins with Sąjūdis. In 1992, 46 athletes represented Lithuania, 13 of them – the basketball team and the discus thrower Romas Ubartas – were presented with medals. The Barcelona Olympic Games will become famous news to the world and will draw the attention of the international community to the newly reborn Lithuania. And it will be never ending journey.

Basketball players on the court, businessmen in their spare time and carriers of the spirit of freedom in Lithuania - that's the "Žalgiris" Kaunas team of 1979-1989. Historic battles against the Red Army, which cannot be forgotten by those who watched them and which the new generation of basketball fans must learn about.

The documentary series "Krepšinio namai" is dedicated to the occasion of the centenary of Lithuanian basketball. The first basketball match in Lithuania was played in 1922, between the national team of the temporary capital and the Lithuanian Physical Education Union. This match is considered the beginning of basketball in our country. It would probably be difficult to find a person in the country who does not admire the achievements of our basketball players, and it will never be enough to be happy about what made Lithuania famous all over the world. There is no doubt that basketball has had a huge impact on Lithuania itself, and the documentary series will also reveal the cultural, social and political significance of sporting events.
