The Circus of Rudnia
Rudnios CirkasYearning for love and intimacy, Salomėja dives into the nightlife – loud parties, fleeting touches, and empty euphoria. One night, after overdosing on drugs, she crosses the boundary between body and spirit, entering a liminal, dreamlike world. There, the mysterious goddesses Žemyna and Laima guide her through a ritual that cleanses her soul of guilt, past wounds, and pain. A meeting with her childhood self and her mother’s image becomes a moment of rebirth – a fragile liberation and reconciliation. As the final heartbeat fades, Salomėja returns to reality – frozen, alone, unnoticed among strangers.
