Once a year, a quiet and secluded village in the north-western part of Lithuania comes alive to celebrate Catholic Easter, doing its best to preserve the vanishing ancient tradition of the Guardians of the Cross. With gentle humor observing the preparations of the local community for the vigil and immersing the audience in Easter night, the filmmakers raise questions about the relationship between the sacred and profane in the modern world.

“Lately, what a coincidence, I’ve been thinking about rituals. A similar experience, like the one in this film, stands out in my childhood memories. Back then, it seemed so unnecessary, even silly. Now, I see rituals as a conscious act of crossing thresholds, giving form to an invisible transformation - something profoundly important to us. Rituals shape our connection to the community, our self-awareness, and help us navigate the chaos of the world. That’s exactly what this film is about.” (Programme curator Vladas Rožėnas)
