SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

Friday, July 18-Saturday, July 18 at 7:20 p.m.: Q&As with director Laurynas Bareiša after the show, moderated by Indiewire’s Ryan Lattanzio (Fri) and filmmaker Sierra Pettengil (Sat)

It starts with a kick to the head. Mixed martial arts competitor Lukas (Paulius Markevicius) has just handily defeated his opponent and celebrates with his wife, child, and friends backstage, setting the scene for a nimble combination of communal bonding and looming horrors.

Additional showtimes to be announced.
