“Why are you reading that? Don't you have anything better to do? Ugh, you’d be better off doing something useful for society…” – that's exactly the kind of thing the fiery and ever-critical Pansy would snap at you. Her son, husband, sister, cashiers, doctors – everyone is subjected to the avalanche of her fury. But where does her dissatisfaction with the world come from? Although Pansy keeps her true thoughts locked behind a solid inner wall, an unexpected incident rips away the carefully constructed masks, exposing long-buried wounds. And then, another question must be asked – is it still possible to forgive one another?

“Legendary British director Mike Leigh returns to the genre that made him most famous: the family drama. His films have an uncanny ability to distil life down to its essence, to reveal its most vivid shades and touch the deepest nerves, all while maintaining a sense of naturalism. The result? A blend of sadness and humour, bleakness and hope. Watching his films, you feel as if real life is unfolding on screen – even when it’s fiction.” (Programme curator Vladas Rožėnas)
