The Collector (Le Collectionneur)
Directed by Emilija Riviere
Short Narrative
Lithuania | 7 minutes | 2014
The film narrates about a girl in an industrial town who, by mistake, becomes the owner of the collection of sunsets preserved in tin cans. Her first reaction is skeptical, but when she opens the first tin can and sees the first sunset, she is fascinated by its beauty. She realizes that it is only part of the full collection and goes back to the house where she got the tin cans. But the former owner and the rest of the collection is gone. In the closing shots she starts to collect sunsets herself.
