This year, the traditional European cinema summer holiday begins in Vilnius. Starting May 21, we invite you to meet every Wednesday at the apocalyptic amusement park “Utopija”, where curated cinematic experiences will transport you far beyond vacation calm – into the bold visions, striking cinematography, and unforgettable plot twists brought to life by Europe’s most daring directors.

Maria, Anders, their daughter Thea, and son Bjorn appear to be a happy, harmonious family, untouched by hardship. But when tragedy suddenly strikes, each of them must confront the real cost of maintaining the illusion of a perfect life. Norwegian actress-turned-director Tuva Novotny’s debut is an emotionally intense experience – often compared to Edvard Munch’s The Scream for its raw portrayal of psychological turmoil. The cast’s masterful emotional range leaves no viewer untouched.

Free screening

The Scanorama Summer project is partially funded by the Lithuanian Film Centre.
