Drowning Dry (2024)

A nonlinear look at the lives of two sisters, this Lithuanian drama stars Gelmine Glemžaitė and Agnė Kaktaitė as Ernesta and Juste, respectively. Ernesta arrives with her husband Lukas (Paulius Markevičius), a tattooed MMA fighter, and their young son at the family lakehouse for a celebration, and is joined by Juste, her businessman husband Tomas (Giedrius Kiela), and their daughter. There’s some initial tension because Ernesta wants to sell the house, though it belongs to both sisters, and Tomas and Lukas are constantly trying to one-up each other, but then things appear to take a disastrous turn when Juste and Tomas’s daughter Urte goes under while they are all swimming in the lake - an event that begins the bouncing around in time. While not the sexiest of circumstances, we appreciate getting to see Gelmine in a bikini before the fateful tragedy.
