The Visitor

  • Vytautas Katkus

Danielius is from Lithuania, but now lives in Norway, where he has put down roots. He returns to his old home to sell his parents’ apartment. No big deal, but many small ones. Danielius visits places and meets people who bring back memories, awaken feelings, and evoke comforting nostalgia, without the familiarity of the past ever truly returning. He remains a wandering visitor through his own past. But as he intends to stay a bit longer, something surprising happens.

Two men sit on a swing inmidst a forest during sunset. They are laughing. Behind them tere is a wooden cabin.

DIRECTOR

  • Vytautas Katkus

    It is places, spaces, and atmospheres that the Lithuanian filmmaker Vytautas Katkus captures in his films—rather than the supposedly grand human dramas. He prioritizes presence over performance and places observation above control. His films are imbued with a contented nostalgia. Vytautas Katkus (born 1991) is an experienced cinematographer, and after directing three short films, THE VISITOR is his first feature film.
