On the Vilnius Christmas before Christmas Day, the Skalvija Cinema Center invites you to see the most Christmassy film. Director Frank Capra's film It's a Wonderful Life (1946) is one of the most beloved and recognizable classic films in the world, and watching it has become an integral part of Christmas traditions.
George Bailey lives in a small American town – he is an ordinary man whose everyday life is full of sincerity and helping others. He gives up his dreams to keep his father's small business, which is so important to the community. As the years go by, a greedy and cynical businessman takes over the town, making everyday life miserable, and George feels trapped between duty and lost desires. One fateful Christmas Eve, having lost all hope, he meets the angel Clarence, who shows him what the world would be like without George. He realizes that even the simplest things leave a deep mark on the lives of others, and that true happiness lies not in what we lack, but in what we already have. N-7
