Southern Chronicles

Andrius returns to his small Lithuanian hometown after a decade in London. He plans to stay just a couple of days, but an accidental encounter with his former classmate Jurga sets off a chain of absurd events. Now he must explain to the locals why he works as a 'mindfulness consultant' rather than the banker everyone imagined. The 2025 comedy deftly balances nostalgia and satire, exploring what it means to be a stranger among your own people. The film is populated with recognizable types of provincial Lithuania—from the aunt who knows best to the childhood friend stuck in adolescent dreams. The dynamic plot unfolds over three days that become a true test of endurance for the protagonist.
