Temporary

Saulė (15) and Liucija (6) are two sisters living alone, waiting for their parents who have temporarily gone to London in search of work. The biggest responsibility falls on older Saulė’s shoulders – she must take care of Liucija, look after home while dealing with the usual issues of a teenager’s life. With so much on her plate and the huge stress Saulė is unable to fit in with her peers. The girls do their best to live on their own and struggle with reality but sometimes being a grown-up is just too hard.
