Trailer

The script is based on the bestselling novels by the writer Jurga Ivanauskaite, which have also been translated into other languages — Witch and Rain, Placebo and Gone with the Dreams.

This mystical, psychological drama tells about Vika and her love attachments, starting with Priest Paulius, a man torn by an inner conflict between his vows and his lust for the woman he met while caring for her husband in an insane asylum. Priest's attempt to break the affair sends Vika on a quest for vengeance. She indulges in sleazy sex with strangers in an abandoned building of Vilnius Old Town and confesses her Vika and those around her are on a modern-day search for spiritual harmony. The quest, though elusive, dissolves the usual boundaries between sanity and insanity.
