Renovation
Present-day Vilnius, Lithuania. Ilona, a perfectionist 29-year-old, feels the pressure to be settled and successful before turning 30. At this turning point in her life, she begins to question how she truly wants to live. She moves into a seemingly perfect apartment with her boyfriend, Matas, as things between them grow serious. But when the building’s renovation begins, it’s not just cracks that start to show.
