Emilija

It is the spring of 1972, when young people take to the streets of Kaunas to demand freedom for Lithuania, and Emilia is marching with the protesting crowd towards the life of their dreams. But everything takes an unexpected turn. Having come to Kaunas with what is perhaps the greatest secret of her life, Emilia has to fight not only for her own fate, but for that of her friends’ as well. And life in Kaunas is far from what she had dreamed of. But she is prepared to take on anything for the sake of what she believes in. (Cairo International Film Festival)
