The film is a story of a seemingly nice family consisting of a mother, father and 11-year-old daughter, but the main “character” of the film is their relationship. Rather than living together, they just exist next to each other. One day an explosion of a water pipe floods their downstairs neighbors’ apartment and the minor technical problem turns into a vital challenge for the family.
“When starting to develop this story my initial intention was to take a close look at my own family, which, though always nice outwardly, seemed more and more sadistic from my current perspective. Later on, while further developing the script, I noticed that most of the people I know have similar experiences: some in the roles of victims, others as perpetrators – or so it seemed,” Lužytė said.
