The film was presented to the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the nomination of an Oscar.

Wooden Staircase (56 min.) is a poetic drama of time and fate; a metaphor, leading to the introspection. Through fate and time two young people, Vilius and Monica, are seeking for the mutual understanding and harmony.

A mystical man, Thomas, an embodiment of the writer Thomas Mann's spirit, is empowered to send Vilius to his past and let him live through the consequences of his painful mistakes that he had done. The rendezvous with the past of his life has a large impact on Vilius' present.
