The Girl and the Echo

At the age of 11, Lina Braknytė was noticed by the assistant director Arunas Zhebrunas, who offered the girl the main role in this film, based on the story by Yuri Nagibin. During the filming, the young actress was not so embarrassed to have to shoot a scene where she was swimming completely naked, but after the film was released, Lina had a hard time. "I was teased at school. In the first days I had to sit in the toilet at every break. Only after two weeks everything was somehow calmed down," said Braknite.
