Peace to Us in Our Dreams



Šarūnas Bartas : 2015

One summer day, a man, his new girlfriend and his daughter arrive at their countryside house to spend a weekend. After the death of her mother, the sixteen-year-old daughter lives with her father, whose attention she lacks and she feels lonely and estranged. He is tired of his daily routine at work and does not know how to find strength to carry on living. His girlfriend, a violinist, does not feel any joy of life, as she is confused in her priorities – music, love and career. Despite the fact they love each other, their relationship is tensed and is on the brink of collapse. The daughter meets up with a boy, a friend from childhood. They go for walks, swim in the lake, talk. One day, the boy steals an optical sight rifle from the local hunters. A big chase commences in the countryside and the troubles and the drama really begin. Šarūnas Bartas's feature premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2015.
