Miesto istorijos (Skalvija)

"A theft in a park, a mysterious safe in an old apartment, things falling from the sky and healing mushrooms in envelopes on the backs of pigeons - these are just some of the fragments that are scattered in densely populated cities, gathered in stories told aloud or whispered. We won't find them on news portals, but filmmakers invite us to take a look at experiences, real or fictional - it's not so important, but from them colorful city maps are created." - Mantė Valiūnaitė, compiler of competition programs.
