Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lithuanian cinema rarely penetrates Western markets; this film captures the specific trauma of 1990s post-Soviet youth who remember socialism but came of age under chaotic capitalism.
The title's Lithuanian wordplay — 'Nepatogus metas' means both 'inconvenient time' and 'uncomfortable weather' — reflects how the generation experiences history as personal atmospheric pressure.
