Gabija Jaraminaitė: motinystės veidai (Skalvija)

Gabija Jaraminaitė is undoubtedly one of the most active contemporary Lithuanian actors creating roles in cinema, she is valued by both Lithuanian and foreign directors. This program includes four short films starring G. Jaraminaitė, and her roles are united by the faces of motherhood embodied by Gabija. A mother who is not at home all day; a mother who sees family as a tool to achieve the image of her dreams; a mother who uses children as an excuse; the mother who asks you to wait will be...mother again. Society would have its own critical opinion about all mothers seen in films, but the actress creates these roles without external evaluation. In this way, the audience has the opportunity to better understand them and once again see Gabija Jaraminaitė's multifaceted talent.
