About the film

A team of filmmakers travels around Lithuania’s summer festivals – from Midsummer’s Day and Assumption Day to the first day of September, which marks the end of summer – capturing short, playful moments of their journey on 16 mm film. By asking people they meet about miracles, faith, childhood, and memories, the filmmakers unexpectedly reveal hidden stories and sensitive confessions.
