After the screening, we will invite you to discuss the film, its themes and the emotions it evoked with the social worker Gitana Salickien, who conducts the introductory film therapy sessions.
Anders is in the city. He has been given one day. His time in the drug rehabilitation center is about to end. He will have to return. To a life where he no longer feels anything, where he is haunted by guilt, the names of people he has disappointed, and the reproach of wasted time. He walks through the streets, past people and places that, when we are gone, still hold our memory. Through the city night and the city dawn, a little bit through the hope that maybe it could be different. Through former homes and old conversations. Through the burning temptation to end it all.
Norwegian director Joachim Trier's ("The Worst Man in the World") drama explores loneliness, the search for meaning in life, and the struggle with inner demons with subtle and sensitive detail. Thanks to its melancholic atmosphere, authentic dialogue, and a captivating performance by Anders Danielsen Lie, the film leaves a strong emotional impression, becoming one of the most prominent works of Scandinavian cinema of the 21st century.
A few years ago, we began to appreciate cinema not only as a work of art, but also as an effective tool for improving emotional health. Romuva's new project "Cinema recipes for emotional health" will offer an even broader look at this in a special film program, which includes films by famous European directors and interviews accompanying the screenings.
The project "Cinema recipes for emotional health", which is carried out by the Kaunas film center "Romuva" together with partners Cinematek (Greece) and Cinema Arta (Romania), is financed by the funds of the "Collaborate to Innovate" fund (European Union program "Creative Europe").
