Feature Film About Life

Dovila's life is shaken by the death of her father. But there is no time to mourn, she has to urgently organize a farewell. To fulfill this task perfectly, Dovilė takes care of every detail of the event. She herself rushes from the morgue to the armory, from the cemetery, to the flower market, always falling into one more curious situation than the other. But the macabre challenges of organizing a funeral do not break her. Even on the contrary: taking care of fallen affairs begins to act as a kind of therapy for the girl.

And finally she succeeds. Those who have gathered for his father's funeral shower compliments on Dovila: the funeral is very cozy. A delicate composition of urns, flowers and candles, displayed photos full of smiles of the deceased and an original soundtrack create a mood that makes the funeral space at times resemble a festive banquet hall rather than an armory. Meanwhile, memories from her childhood catch up with the girl who is always in a hurry.
