Community Gardens

Directed by Vytautas Katkus

With Vygantas Bachmackij, Arvydas Dapšys, Jelena Juscenko-Kirijeva and Aistė Zabotkaitė

A grown-up son goes on a countryside trip with his ageing parents in the hopes of reigniting the relationship, but there is nothing left to reignite. This story of familial dysfunction is set against the picturesque backdrop of a dacha community (instantly recognisable to every post-Soviet native), rendered by Vytautas Katkas with irony and a rare sympathy for his hapless subjects.
