About this event
Join us for a film screening of Lithuania's submission for the Academy Awards with commentary from Maarja Merivoo-Parro, CEO of Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom. How to Divorce During the War takes place in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2022. High-flying executive, Marija (Zygimante Elena Jakstaite), chooses the worst possible moment to inform her husband, Vytas (Marius Repsys), that she wants a divorce: just one day before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Suddenly the couple must navigate the process of separation as it collides with a refugee and mid-life crisis.
