Director, Ignas Jonynas with the 35mm film –‘Sunday as it is'

‘While the style of‘Sunday as it is’ appears very contemporary and the film’s plot Western, in its compelling use of action driven by the film’s cinematography and editing, the story reflects a world and life of an occupied nation and the mind games of a society that is quite different from our own.’

Quote from Peter M. Kershaw.

Brief Synopsis:
