Recommended for ages 12 and up If one Airbnb apartment could talk, what would it tell us? It would herald the heartbroken, the disappointed, love etudes and searching for oneself in the past. Five tenants of an apartment from Ireland, Israel, Lithuania, Hungary and Poland are not destined to meet, but their destinies and days pass between the same walls and under the same sheets. A bachelorette party with an unexpected resolution, planning a baby and a relative detective in Vilnius, the so-called Little Jerusalem, a bachelor who wants to reconnect with his beloved, and the double life of a stripper who is interrupted by unexpected guests. In the middle of all this is the narrator - Jolanta, a cleaner of Latvian origin - whose love story is still in the making. The Shakespeare quoted in the dramedy could be pleased to watch the latest work of the acclaimed Lithuanian director Vengra ("Homeland" (2019)), which achieved phenomenal success in Lithuania, including 11 nominations of the Lithuanian National Film Award "Silver Crane". Opening the door of his apartment in the center of Vilnius and inviting Latvian cameraman Jurģi Kmin, Vengris gathers a talented cast - including Gēza Rorings, the lead actor of "Son of the Sun" (2015), and Velta Žīgure-Anužiene, a Lithuanian actress of Latvian origin. The work co-produced by the Latvian film studio "Studija Lokomotīve" not only depicts the emotional confusion of the modern man of the 21st century, the collective traumas and their bitterness, but also ingeniously intertwines cultures and finds a place for Ainar Mielav's composition "Tu savaolnoji mani".
