HUNGER STRIKE BREAKFAST

by Karolis Kaupinis

synopsis

In the early 1990s, Lithuanian TV star Daiva loses her job as TV studios are taken over by Russian soldiers. Unable to chase the armed men away, Daiva decides to declare a hunger strike in a small trailer facing the occupied TV station. Only a handful of people join her, and the soldiers couldn’t care less. Merely a day into the strike, reclaiming the station already seems like a lost battle. As hunger grows, the strikers realise what they are truly starving for: confession and human warmth.
