The art of self-realisation: when a young mother IEVA leaves her small daughter to produce a musical performance with much older VADIM, she has to realise that this project leaves her with the same feelings of unfulfillment like the mother’s role. It became a modern convention to use arts and culture as THE must-be form of self-realisation as it had been the role of the caring mother before. Both put a lot of pressure on Ieva and her choices.
Gailė studied literature at Vilnius University and screenwriting at Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre where she got her bachelor degree. Since 2013, she has been actively working in the field of documentary film. She currently works as a screenwriter and a director in the fields of film and TV. Short film “The Robot and The Butterfly” is her debut as a director. The film was funded by Lithuanian Film Centre in 2020.
