The UK premiere and the opening film of the London Baltic Film Festival 2025. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
True renovation begins from the inside... In present-day Vilnius, Ilona, a perfectionist 29-year-old, feels the pressure to be settled and successful by the time she turns 30. She moves into a seemingly perfect apartment with her boyfriend Matas, with whom things are getting serious. But as the building's renovation begins, it's not just cracks in the walls that are revealed - Ilona’s inner doubts also start to surface as she strikes up an unexpected friendship with Oleg, a Ukrainian construction worker.
The film premiered at this year's Karlovy Vary Film Festival and played in competition.
All ticket holders are welcome to attend the drinks reception from 5pm-6pm in the cinema's Atrium Bar.
