How To Be a Human Being

Kaip būti žmogumi Directed by: Jorė Janavičiūtė
Produced by: Greta Akcijonaitė, Gabija Siurbytė, Kino metropolis, Dansu films
LT 202315' lt

Thirty-year-old Simona meets Mantas, whom she dated as a teenager, at a hotel during a conference. Back then, she accused him of date rape. As part of her duties at the conference, Simona needs to help participants prepare for their presentations. The acquaintances from long ago start talking. It turns out that her memory is playing tricks – something completely different than what she has thought for many years happened.

A black comedy of the #MeToo era that seeks to re-examine the relationship between victim and abuser through the rules of the genre. Lithuanian-born Jorė Janavičiūtė studied journalism at Vilnius University, production at the European Film College in Denmark and holds a Master’s degree in film directing from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. Her dramedy about a kleptomaniac, the short film Where Things, Where People Disappear (2017), has won acclaim and awards at several European festivals. Meanwhile, her latest work focuses on the discourse of intimate relationships and the inherited taboos of the millennial generation.
