Middle-aged Irena lives a dreary life in a small, somnambulant Lithuanian town. Despised by her co-workers at the struggling post-Soviet pig farm she manages, childless Irena is also stuck toiling for her bumbling, alcoholic husband. She isn't a hit with the townspeople either, who resent the seemingly preferential treatment she received from the local housing authority. Everything changes with the arrival of a boisterous American-Lithuanian stranger intent on buying the farm while pledging to make Lithuania great again. Despite arousing everyone's suspicions, Bernardas (Vyto Ruginis) brings the whole town to life, even timid, introverted Irena, who soon falls under his charismatic sway. Will this newfound vitality be the town's - and Irena's - saving grace... or its undoing? (Toronto International Film Festival)
