Synopsis

At first it seems that Liza and her children are going about thier daily routine in their small, poorly appointed flat. The boys – Tomas and Edgaras – are glued to the television, teenaged daughter Kristina is cooking and mother Liza is writting a letter. The family is waiting for their father to return. He arrives, bringing food, but leaves shorty afterwards because this is no ordinary flat – it is a basement from which Liza and her children may never escape. —Vilnius International Film Festival
