2016 · 20 min

A quiet, melancholic walk through a changed hometown, carrying the weight of expectations and the ache of not belonging anymore.

Overview
Ieva, 22, comes back to her hometown Vilnius, Lithuania, after four years in Hollywood. During her first twelve hours at home, Ieva sees her mom and friends who project their false expectations on her, picturing Ieva as a successful actress and America as the land of opportunity. Ieva only reveals her doubts about her future to her ex-boyfriend Tadas. As they walk down the streets of Vilnius, Ieva notices how much her city has changed. In order to reconnect with the people and the city Ieva has to accept the fact that nothing stays the same.
