Vilnius, the opening weeks of 2022. A senior executive picks what turns out to be the worst possible day to tell her husband, plainly and out loud, that she wants the marriage to end.
What is How to Divorce During the War about?
Marija has spent years climbing inside a demanding career, and she has reached a decision about the life she shares with Vytas: she wants out. She raises it with him directly. Roughly twenty-four hours later Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine begins, and the region around their apartment shifts onto a wartime footing. The separation does not pause for it. Paperwork, a shared home, property to divide, family owed an explanation, the small logistics of two adults uncoupling — all of it continues while Vilnius takes in arriving refugees and both partners collide with questions about middle age. Across 108 minutes the story stays at household scale.
About the cast
The credited cast, in billing order, is Marius Repsys, Zygimante Elena Jakstaite, Indre Patkauskaite, Gintare Parulyte, Amelija Adomaityte, Ramunas Cicenas, Rimantas Bagdzevicius and Larisa Kalpokaite. Our source records the ensemble as a list without a role sheet, so no character is assigned to a performer here. Andrius Blazevicius is credited as director. The construction leans on sustained two-handed conversation and domestic interiors rather than on incident.
Context & significance
The picture is a four-country co-production — Lithuania, Luxembourg, Ireland and the Czech Republic all appear on the production credits — and it carries a 2026 catalogue year on K-Time. The genre classification is drama; the runtime is 108 minutes. The February 2022 invasion is present strictly as historical setting: the narrative stays inside a household and a legal process, and the war registers the way civilians in a neighbouring country registered it, through news, arrivals, and errands that abruptly became harder.
