A grown-up son goes on a countryside trip with his ageing parents in the hopes of reigniting the relationship, but there is nothing left to reignite. This story of familial dysfunction is set against the picturesque backdrop of a dacha community (instantly recognisable to every post-Soviet native), rendered by Vytautas Katkas with irony and a rare sympathy for his hapless subjects.

Two friends wander around a Soviet-era neighbourhood in the outskirts of Vilnius. An airport is going to be built here soon, and the place where they grew up will cease to exist. This thoughtful, post-dramatic film shot by director and cinematographer Vytautas Katkus is an inquiry into the psychogeography of post-Soviet Lithuania.
