Family Album / Šeimos albumas

by Emilija Juzeliūnaitė

Drawing on cels

Separated in childhood, a brother and sister reunite on a TV show that gives them a picture perfect ending on screen. Off camera, they set out on their first trip together, hoping to carry that closeness into real life. But when the cameras stop, they must face a harder reality: how do you build a real relationship with someone who should feel like family, but is a stranger? As they travel side by side, they long for a deeper connection to make up for the years they lost. But building a relationship without shared memories brings unexpected tension, forcing them to confront what they are to each other and whether they can truly bridge the distance between.
