The Lithuanian Honorary Consulate Manila is proud to announce that REMEMBER TO BLINK directed by Austėja Urbaitė was presented in the Cine Europa 27 Film Festival in Shangri-La Plaza Manila.

REMEMBER TO BLINK (Per arti)
Austėja Urbaitė, Lithuania , 2022
109 minutes, In Lithuanian, French with English subtitles
North American Premiere

In this captivating drama, French couple Leon (Arthur Igual) and Jacqueline (Anne Azoulay), who live in a beautiful house in the French mountains, have adopted two Lithuanian children. Seeking to ease the transition, they enlist the help of Gabriele (Dovile Kundrotaite), a young Lithuanian student, to serve as an interpreter and nanny. When the children arrive, the idyllic façade of the new family arrangement gives way to underlying tensions and cultural clashes. Hints of the couple's unfamiliarity with their adopted children's origins emerge, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings, and unearths the complexities of parenthood and culture.

Director Austėja Urbaitė's debut is a thought-provoking exploration of the subtle dynamics of what it means to become a family. The film skillfully unveils the characters' multifaceted and irrational traits, weaving a tapestry of relationships that question the boundaries of culture and identity. Urbaitė deftly employs unpredictability of her characters with nuanced performances to maintain viewer engagement, while cinematographer Julius Sičiūnas juxtaposes the serene natural surroundings with the mounting tension within the confined household. The film exposes a form of "neo-colonialism", reflecting broader cultural conflicts and revealing the intricacies of human behavior in the face of change and unfamiliarity.
