SYNOPSIS

Indre, a psychology graduate, goes to a psychiatric hospital to undertake research regarding biofeedback. She is given the job of transporting two patients - Paulius, a man with bipolar disorder, and Juste, a woman who attempted suicide - to another psychiatric hospital in Palanga. Indre isn¡¯t yet a qualified doctor so is anxious regarding their care, however while the patients initially don¡¯t talk much and the journey is full of unexpected events, they slowly become closer and even exchange jokes. From time to time, the film captures Paulius and Juste¡¯s faces as they watch the outside world, revealing the complexity of their emotions. The director intelligently employs tension to keep audiences guessing - will the journey end successfully? Is it possible to really know who your friends are? Is a person¡¯s mind like a machine? Such pertinent questions will stay with viewers. [JANG Rhana]
