Vytautas Katkus's film The Visitor follows Danielius, a man in his thirties who returns from Norway to a Lithuanian resort town to sell the flat he shared with his late father, whose funeral he missed the previous year. The Guardian's review finds the film a quietly existential, understated drama about grief, fatherhood and displacement, praising its graceful cinematography but noting it spends much of its long runtime simply observing its protagonist's aimless drift rather than confronting his emotional withdrawal directly.

The review describes Danielius as detached and out of step with those around him, filling his days walking a neighbour's dog, drifting through beach gatherings and dozing in pine forests, while the narrative periodically shifts focus to another local resident. Only late in the film does it address the roots of his diffidence, and the second half breaks from realism with a surreal seafront musical sequence, lending the drama unexpected notes of absurdism and warmth. The Visitor is showing at the ICA in London from 21 August.
