Directed by Austėja Urbaitė • 2022 • Lithuania

The debut feature from Lithuania’s Austėja Urbaitė, the compelling Remember to Blink charts the thin line between devotion and aggression. In the secluded French countryside, Jacqueline and Léon (Anne Azoulay and Arthur Igual) are set to welcome their newly adopted Lithuanian children, Karolina and Rytis (Inesa Sionova and Ajus Antanavičius). To help with the language barrier, they also bring Gabrielė (Dovilė Kundrotaitė), a bilingual student, into their home. As tensions brew between Jacqueline and this ambiguous new female presence, this artificial family soon come to realise just how precarious their idyll truly is. A compelling, disquieting breakthrough that never allows the viewer to settle into easy judgements.
