►Karlovy Vary 2025
Twenty-nine-year-old Ilona and her boyfriend have just moved into a new apartment in a block of flats. Soon afterwards, when the building’s renovation begins, she befriends Oleg, one of the Ukrainian construction workers, and her idyllic notions of a fulfilling life as she approaches thirty start to crumble. A confident feature debut about Lithuanian millennials, their anxiety, indecision and their search for a story in a life surrounded by scaffolding.
“Shot on 16mm, the film adopts a tactile, intimate aesthetic. The grain of the image conveys a muted sense of nostalgia, grounding the present in a visual texture. The camera lingers on small, often overlooked details, hands exchanging objects, plaster dust suspended in light, faces absorbed in thought rather than propelled by action.” (Screen Anarchy)
“Renovation is a curious, delightful beast that, at times, borders on a dry-humoured dramedy driven by situational irony while at other times taking on the sentimental romantic themes of a work like The Worst Person in the World.” (Cineuropa)
