I Want to Live
Lithuanian film for the big screen, released in 2018.  Per Rolandas Kazlas, who plays one of the main characters, “…this is the best role I have ever played.  A warm, sincere movie about the time before Internet, when feelings were purer, when hearts were real, and they could beat to one rhythm…”  WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES
