Seattle International Film Festival 2025: Film #26
Pure cinema, in that no other artform could do what this film does in the edit. Let me know if you know what aquittal the brother was referring to - that bit was lost on me, alas.
Synopsis: Sisters Ernesta and Justė, along with their husbands Lukas and Tomas, gather at their parents’ summer house. It’s been a while since they’ve all been together and the children are delighted to be spending the last warm days by the lake. But an intense weekend soon unravels, thrusting both families into a radically altered reality where time is limited and emotional issues must be solved amidst growing heartache.
