An old manor. New money. A club you are never invited to.
Act oneA reborn Tyszkiewicz manor outside Vilnius fills with people who should have nothing in common: an heir without an inheritance, a businessman without a business, a woman with two phones and a man with a shotgun who insists he only came to hunt. Over one weekend it becomes clear they are bound by more than any of them would care to admit. The manor has its own circle. Its own rules. And nobody ends up in it by accident.

Audition framesNine charactersNine people, one manor and too much money. Who will play them, not even they know yet.
Quick mind, restrained irony, a habit of taking risks. He bought the manor not as a rational purchase but as a promise to himself, one he can no longer walk away from.
Strict, precise, more loyal to the building than to its owner.
The man for logistics and “complicated situations”. His humour is dry and his morals flexible, but only up to a point.
Talented, ambitious, in debt and convinced that the older generation has clung to power for too long.
She comes to the manor to help with the investor paperwork and quickly realises the numbers tell a different story.
A polite man whose politeness is a form of threat.
For years everyone took her for a mere companion. That was their mistake.
Knows every crack in the manor’s walls.
Young, but not naive.
Every interior scene is shot in the real rooms of the Tyszkiewicz palace: the salon with its portraits, the study, the drive and the park by the lake. No built sets.
The manor is open to visitors. On a tour you walk through the same rooms you see in the frames.

Making ofWhat an audition looks like while the camera is still off: the director explains the scene, make-up is fixed between takes, the salon waits for “action”.
PhotosThe salon, portraits on the walls and a phone with something written on it he does not know yet. A frame from the audition with Einar Rudnev.
PhotosVilma Biekšaitė-Ramos joins the team. When you shoot in a real manor, you need someone who knows what is behind every door.
PhotosThe team is growing. Actress and director in the manor hall, under the vaults being restored.
PhotosA hat, a pistol at the temple and a look that has no intention of begging. A scene where we tested nerves, not lines.
