Five and a Half Love Stories in a Vilnius Apartment (5 ½ meilės istorijos viename Vilniaus bute), dir. Tomas Vengris, drama 90’, Lithuania/Latvia/Ireland/Poland, 2024
Five guests experience a crisis of love in an Airbnb in Vilnius, unaware of the other stories that have transpired within those same walls and under those same bedsheets. Between each episode, the quiet cleaning lady arrives to wipe away the evidence of their joys and tragedies, while her own love story unfolds. This is a contemporary narrative in a specific location, but the film’s universal visual language pulls audiences into the story and themes regardless of their cultural proximity.
