Paulius and Indrė arrive in a small town near an airport. The next day they pretend to be buying a house, but get recognised by the owner and thrown out. It becomes clear that Paulius is the brother and Indrė was the girlfriend of a boy who was kidnapped, raped and murdered four years ago. Undisturbed by the mood of the locals, they carry on retracing the steps of this gruesome crime.
“Mastering every shot of the film, Laurynas Bareiša speaks the film language that inspires. Extremally precise and polished, “Pilgrims” talks and breaths Cinema with honesty and sensitivity that the story delivers.” (Marija Fridinovaitė)
