The Lost Land is a short documentary about an ancient forest that sank beneath the Baltic Sea 12,000 years ago. The film follows Professor Vladas Žulkus and his team as they explore the seabed and study the remains of the trees. Their discoveries help us understand the past and reveal how climate change could reshape our coastline in the future.

A man who is apathetic about life spends his days in seclusion. He is detached from communication and contact with the outside world. An empty and deserted room demonstrates his detachment from his surroundings, his inner world. Suddenly a woman appears in his world. She brings her strange stories into his world. In a language that the man does not understand, she tries to communicate with him, trying to tell him that everything that is broken can be put back together, the cracks will remain as scars, but with them we can continue our journey. By changing the interior he lives in and his inner world, she makes him interested in life. She makes a man interested in her and in himself.
