Adam Wants to Be a Man

Directed by Vytautas Žalakevičius

With Vitalijus Puodžiukaitis, Audrone Bajerciute, Stasis Petronaitis, Juozas Miltinis and Valerijonas Derkintis

In a pre-WWII Lithuanian town, occupied with unemployed workers and crooks of various kinds, lives Adam, a naive young man with no job and a lot of dreams. His closest friend is the Captain, an old sea wolf with many tales to tell about Singapore, Hawaii and other equally exotic and sunny places. Inspired by his stories, Adam manages to get a job in an emigration bureau and starts saving for his ticket to leave abroad.
