“And then they came” follows the intertwining lives of the border guards, local villagers, and volunteers combing forests for missing migrants. Through their reflections and dialogue, viewers cast a look at the border crisis, Lithuania’s collective traumas, and regional conflicts. Casting a look at a series of incidents and clashes on the border, as well as the war unfolding in Ukraine, the viewers are posed the main question – has the normalisation of war made us numb to the events unfolding around us?
