Story

Where does generosity begin and where does it end? A remarkably sensitive Lithuanian love story about a relationship in which shared sexuality has to be defined anew. In a dance course for the hearing impaired, dancer Elena meets sign language interpreter Dovydas. The attraction is there from the first moment and the more they get to know each other, the closer they become. But closeness has its boundaries for Dovydas: when he tells Elena that he is asexual, the couple have to make compromises and sacrifices and find a form of intimacy acceptable for both.
