PROD Arūnas Stoškus, Kęstutis Petrulis

The film is about metamorphosis of wedding traditions. What happened to the old wedding ways and customs that were market by joy, mystery and sadness? In the Baltic mythology, weddings were associated with death and rebirth. They were full of various laments, songs and rituals. Can we still see the reflection of these traditions in the modern, commercialized weddings? Do we have to look for them? What have we lost and what have we discovered? —lfc.lt
