Synopsis
Lithuania. 1992. The Soviet Union has just officially collapsed, but freedom is yet to be tested. People’s faces look tired and are filled with anxiety. It’s a Monday morning. Novembers are always dark. Some people are trying to squeeze into overfilled trolleybuses, others are standing in lines winding from supermarkets with empty shelves. Just a few hours later though, the streets become eerily empty, and cashier women are nowhere to find. What happened? From every corner small TVs are emanating the same sound - yelling and crying in Spanish. Everybody’s watching the hugely popular Mexican telenovela The Rich Also Cry.
