- A middle-class couple, Izabele and Liudas, live in their rural house with their son Gailius, who suffers from epilepsy. One day Izabele talks her husband into adopting six-year-old Ilja, a headstrong yet withdrawn little boy from a children's home. With the arrival of the new addition, family life starts to change drastically for all of them - This taut psychological drama by debuting filmmaker Giedre Beinoriute is an adaptation of the award-winning novel of the same name by Laura Sintija Cerniauskaite. Using an economical but highly effective approach, the director ramps up the tension, and her conception of the mise-en-scène is masterful as well. Beinoriute states: "Breathing into Marble is about an attempt to warm up stone. It may be impossible, but it's worth trying."—Lenka Tyrpáková
