Andrius

This is a free screening of Lithuanian cinema classics. Entrance is free.

Film historian Gediminas Jankauskas will present the film.

Ten-year-old Andrius is not like all children. A boy with a pure and trusting heart often finds refuge in the world of dreams, where unknown lands, where golden Prague the watchmaker, dressed in clothes from a couple of centuries ago, invites the children to have coffee from a fancy service, and the old man Rukšėnas, flying his self-constructed glider, invites children to a fantastic city in search of a special bowtie missing for his collection. After the mysterious words "bee-reel-whitefish", Andrius, a student of the music school, immediately fell into a dream world where there were no problems. The Prague Children's Choir comes on tour in Vilnius, the girl Jana becomes a guest of Andrias. Children make friends. Children speak different languages, but they understand each other perfectly. Andrius gives Jana magical words. After Jana leaves, Andrii only has a dreamy memory of her, a longing that spills out flutes melody…
