Inga Jankauskaitė Returns to Acting After a Long Time: "I Am on the Same Shelf as the Film's Heroine"

Inga Jankauskaitė makes her acting comeback in the romantic comedy 'When You Least Expect It', set in warm Kaunas, bringing humor and warmth to the audience.

Inga Jankauskaitė, after a long hiatus, returns to the screen in the romantic comedy 'When You Least Expect It', which emphasizes themes like romance, love, and awkward dates, in a charming setting of Kaunas. The film is a collaborative effort of Kaunas-born creators, including director Vytautas Adomaitis, producer Julius Balašaitis, and screenwriter Matas Vildžius, known for their quality storytelling rather than seeking shock value. The film has already garnered encouraging reviews, with cultural journalist Valdas Puteikis highlighting the clever use of sophisticated humor in the dialogues, fluid and organic performances from the actors, and genuine emotional expressions. Jankauskaitė's return is notable, as she has primarily been recognized for her singing rather than acting, showcasing a different side of her talent that the audience has yet to explore. Set against the backdrop of a warm winter in Kaunas, the film not only aims to capture the hearts of viewers with its romantic storyline but also to reintegrate Jankauskaitė into the acting scene, possibly signaling a new phase in her career. This film could pave the way for more local productions and highlight the rich cultural backdrop of Lithuanian cinema.
