The rare love story that’s both impossibly romantic and crushingly pragmatic, “Past Lives” follows two people who might be soulmates, even though they have never kissed and haven’t been in the same city in 24 years.
Making an utterly assured feature debut, writer-director Celine Song modulates the delicate tonal balance of this wise, wistful film perfectly, dividing her narrative into three distinct segments – following the characters when they’re roughly 12, 24, and 36 – with each passage more moving than the last. There are three superb performances at the picture’s centre, but none is more radiant than that of Greta Lee, gracefully capturing the spirit of a searching soul who seems to understand things about the nuances of love that are beyond the grasp of the rest of us.

Show lessWhat is the special program “Summer Cinema at Rotermanni Quarter”?
In July 2025, Sõprus will once again open its summer outdoor cinema – this year in the heart of the city, at the main square of the Rotermann Quarter. The open-air cinema, with 150 seats, will host screenings every week from Thursday to Sunday starting at 10 PM. 31 different screenings will take place.
The Summer Cinema offers the audience emotionally charged film nights outdoors, in an open urban space, with quality typical of Sõprus. Several screenings will be accompanied by themed introductions, conversations with exciting guests, and a lively side program with music and special offers at the bar. The film program, titled “Summer in the City”, is inspired by the cinema’s location and its surroundings: PoCo, the Museum of Architecture, the sea, bars, restaurants, the modern urban space. And everything else the summer in Tallinn has to offer.
