Little Jerusalem

Vytautas lives in a little neighborhood in Vilnius called Jerusalem. He, like any other teenager there, looks like a street gang member, eats kebabs and is afraid of everything he can not understand. But one special night among the teenagers in Jerusalem appears his weird eight-year-old brother. Vytautas has to choose between his complexes and a brotherly love.

Director Statement

I chose this topic, because I grew up among children who were afraid of being themselves. Even now, I often find myself in situations where in order to be loyal to myself and make the right decisions I have to overcome my complexes and it is not that easy.
