The opening film of the sixth LDFF!Kūrybinė komanda kelis metus stebėjo atokią priklausomų asmenų bendruomenę, įsikūrusią Kelmės rajone. Čia vyrai atvyksta ieškodami naujo gyvenimo kelio. Jie atsiriboja nuo civilizacijos, o jų kasdienybė susideda iš gyvulių priežiūros, sūrio gamybos ir maldų. Tačiau atvykus tėviškos priežiūros reikalaujančiam 14-mečiui paaugliui išryškėja įtampos tarp priklausomybės paženklintų skirtingų kartų.
Award-winning Lithuanian documentary filmmaker Vytautas Puidokas’s new film tells the story of a rehabilitation center on an abandoned farm. It’s a refuge for troubled recovering addicts and former prisoners hoping for one last chance at a normal life. It is run by Žanas, a former addict who has turned his life around through nature and religion. One day, a 14-year-old boy named Matas joins the farm, seeking solace from his childhood trauma. Together they begin to confront his past.
The film reveals the complex cycle of addiction and its impact on different generations and focuses on the difficult journey of recovery, where love and support play a crucial role. But the question remains whether such facilities are really the way out. And what happens when they don’t work?
