New Showbiz Analysis

This documentary serves as a reflective exploration of the landscape rather than a character-driven story. By emphasizing the visual and emotional impact of the environment, it avoids typical social conflicts found in many films. The film's focus on the natural and architectural beauty creates a sense of transcendence, moving away from human-centric power dynamics and social issues. It redefines the traditional documentary format by shifting the focus from human stories to the rhythms and history embedded in the landscape.

Official Synopsis

The film features an incredibly low angel’s flight over the dunes of Nida, Trakai castle, the lakes of Aukstaitija (Highlands), the roofs of the Old Town of Vilnius and the fantastically beautiful church steeples. It’s like a mystical gliding just above the treetops, meadows covered by early morning mist, as well as the narrow streets of Vilnius.
