This mystical, psychological drama is about riotous women humbled by men. The script is based on the best selling novels by the writer Jurga Ivanauskaite, which have also been translated into other languages – “Witch and Rain”, “Placebo” and “Gone with the Dreams”.
The film tells about young journalist Vika and her love attachments, starting with Priest Paulius, a man torn by an inner conflict between his vows and his lust for the woman he met while caring for her husband in an insane asylum.
Priest’s attempt to break the affair sends Vika on a quest for vengeance. She indulges in sleazy sex with strangers in an abandoned building of Vilnius Old Town and confesses her encounters to the priest.
Vika’s torment takes her to a psychiatrist, Rita, a woman who proves to be no less suicidal than her patients are.
Vika and those around her are on a modern-day search for spiritual harmony. The quest, though elusive, dissolves the usual boundaries between sanity and insanity.
