Synopsis: When Vitolis Laumakys and Adolfas Mor nas coincidentally entered into conversation on the street in 1962, they didn't yet know that they had a shared passion for film. That same year, they set up an amateur film studio. In the five decades since then, they have produced nearly a hundred short films. Now an unwelcome change threatens their l
Review: I expected a documentary on this amateur studio who apparently produced many movies during the Soviet occupation over more than 30 years. And finally I got a few interviews of the two old producers showing their material. But nothing about the challenges they encountered, not even any image of any of their production. Nothing about their public, about their movies so that it does not seem very realistic. And I am sure that this could have been a huge documentary by showing these missing points. It is a sweet story. But quite obring for the 20 minutes.
