Drama from the Baltics

Sebastian, working as a store clerk, finds his ordinary workday shaken up when he meets Silo, a free-spirited wanderer. Together, they smoke weed and dream of a one-way ticket to Brazil. "This is a film about young people who don't know what to do with their lives," said the film's director, Meel Paliale. The dialogue and characters in the screenplay are based on many real-life situations and people.

In a working-class neighbourhood of the Lithuanian city of Siauliai, in early 90-ies, brawny 17-year-old Rimants is playing rugby, listening to eurobeat and tries to earn some money on the black market - as nearly everyone at that time. His friend Minde does the same and they are practically sure, that physical strength and money are the essentials for success in this changing, competitive, capitalist society. But when Rimants meets and falls in love with the beautiful, middle class Monika, he is introduced to a new world of literature, culture and alternative possibilities which he explores with guarded enthusiasm. A portrait of a 90’ies generation with a lot of humour, music and the special slang of Šiauliai.

The daughter of a religious leader enters into a secret extramarital affair, which collapses her life arrangements. Years later, at a family wedding anniversary celebration, he receives a message that rips open old wounds.

Frustrated with his life, a self-centered car mechanic and his filmmaker friend embark on a crazy, criminal and perhaps even melodic journey of self-discovery to the other side of the country to cut down the Tree of Eternal Love.
