Award-winning Lithuanian documentary filmmaker Vytautas Puidokas’s new film tells the story of a rehabilitation centre on an abandoned farm. It’s a refuge for troubled recovering addicts and former prisoners hoping for one last chance at a normal life. It is run by Žanas, a former addict who has turned his life around through nature and religion. One day, a 14-year-old boy named Matas joins the farm, seeking solace from his own childhood trauma. Together they begin to confront his past. The film reveals the complex cycle of addiction and its impact on different generations, and focuses on the difficult journey of recovery, where love and support play a crucial role. But the question remains whether such facilities are really the way out. And what happens when they don’t work?
