"The theme of memory is heard from different angles in this programme: in some films it is direct - reconstructing past events and trying to understand their impact on today, in others it is more focused on situations that, even if you try very hard, you can't erase from your memory. Laughter and tears, funerals and New Year, a park of oak trees and an apartment full of flowers will invite you to get to know what Lithuanian filmmakers care about." - Mantė Valiūnaitė, competition programme organiser.
