Director: Saulė Bliuvaitė
Seven strangers cross paths at the worst possible moment in Toxic, a 2025 Lithuanian drama-thriller from director Saulė Bliuvaitė that lets one chaotic night pull an entire cast of characters apart.
What is Toxic about?
A nightclub owner, a crime boss, a stripper, a bartender, a pair of hitmen, a woman working the streets, and a psychic all have their own reasons for being out that night, none of them connected until circumstance forces them together. Their separate lives start to unravel once someone loose from psychiatric care begins moving through the city, leaving damage in every direction. Each character reacts according to their own instincts for survival, and the film tracks how quickly self-interest turns to panic when nobody involved can predict what happens next. What begins as a set of disconnected routines becomes a single unraveling night none of them will walk away from unchanged.
Cast & crew
Vesta Matulytė and Ieva Rupeikaitė lead an ensemble rounded out by Eglė Gabrėnaitė, Giedrius Savickas, Vilma Raubaitė, Jekaterina Makarova, Jokūbas Paškevičius, and Tadas Baranauskas, each handling one thread of the film's interlocking cast of characters.
Context & significance
Toxic is a Lithuanian production from 2025 with an 88-minute runtime, sitting at the harder edge of the drama-thriller genre with a premise built entirely around escalating crisis rather than a single protagonist's arc. Its ensemble structure gives the film a restless, unpredictable rhythm that keeps any one character from dominating the story for long.

Toxic is available on K-Time with Persian subtitles, letting Farsi-speaking viewers follow its tangled ensemble story in full. Watching only requires a free account login, the page itself is free to browse without one, and K-Time is built around a Farsi-first experience designed for the Iranian diaspora.
