Pagirnis

PAGIRNIS - Nomads, Mythology, Resilience

On the fringe of bustling Amsterdam lies an unconventional community: the city nomads, residents of a makeshift trailer village. Portrayed by society as the destitute, unskilled, or addicted, many of these individuals chose this life, driven by societal dissonance, idealism, or simply the pursuit of freedom. As they navigate the impermanence of their squatted haven, they grapple with life's uncertainties and the diminishing sense of spiritual connection in the modern world. In an intimate exploration, the film weaves Lithuanian mythology of household deities into the narrative, drawing parallels to Amsterdam's ongoing housing crisis. Through heartfelt conversations with these residents, we uncover tales of aspiration, introspection, and resilience against the backdrop of an ever-evolving capitalist landscape.
