Laguna

Directed by

Šarūnas Bartas

On the Mexican Pacific coast, the land Ina Marija adopted before dying too young, her father and younger sister Una embark on a journey in her footsteps. There, amidst the lush nature of the mangroves—in a lagoon ravaged by hurricanes and constantly reborn—they begin the process of mourning. As he films this journey, Sharunas Bartas lays bare his emotions and, in an act of transmission, seeks a reconstruction nourished by the natural cycles of life and nature.
