Peace to Us in Our Dreams is a story about a man who comes to a village for a weekend with his teenage daughter and a girlfriend. The relationship between the man and his young friend is complicated. The 16-year-old daughter has a hard time dealing with the adults’ relationship crisis, and she therefore feels lonely and estranged. Since her childhood, she has been friendly with a boy from the village while spending her days in a summer house. But one day, a boy steals a rifle from the local hunters, and then the troubles and the drama really begin.

The film, written and directed by Bartas, features a cast including Lora Kmieliauskaite, Ina Marija Bartaitė, Šarūnas Bartas, Edvinas Goldsteinas, Giedrius Nakas and Klaudia Korshunova. It was co-produced by Studija Kinema (Lithuania) and KinoElektron (France) as well as Russian outfit Lookfilm. International sales rights have already been acquired by NDM Ventas Internacionales.
