Troll Farm (Trolių ferma)

Origin and Year: Lithuania, 2023	Director: Ernestas Jankauskas
Runnning time: 2 x 56 min

Ana is so extraordinarily successful that at first we might think that the Lithuanian series will leave us spending most of our time in the boardrooms of sterile high-rise buildings, airplanes and villas. But the meteoric rise of a visionary businesswoman smashing through glass ceilings soon changes trajectory abruptly when Ana becomes the victim of a conspiracy. How will the determined businesswoman cope with the loss of her good reputation and her entire life so far? The answer lies in good friends and a brand new business project – albeit a slightly unconventional one. Lithuania’s first major TV series, pumped up by the energy of actress Gabija Siurbytė, who is also one of its creators, was a big event in its home country, and it certainly will not be put in a corner in our competition either.

Q&A’s after the screening with director Ernestas Jankauskas, producer Viktorija Rimkutė and showrunner and main actress Gabija Siurbytė.
