The Trip

About This Movie

The Trip (2022) takes you to a different time and place, capturing the raw essence of Soviet Lithuania in 1975. The film has this somber yet poignant atmosphere, focusing on a group of fishermen setting off on a long voyage to the Atlantic coasts of Africa. It’s all about the weight of their goodbyes and the uncertainty of the months ahead. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the reality of life at sea. The documentary leans heavily on practical effects—the sounds of the waves, the creaking of the boat, and the faces of the fishermen tell stories without needing much dialogue. It’s this kind of intimate storytelling that makes it distinct, immersing you into a world that’s both harsh and beautiful.
