About this Event
Andrius, a skeptical twenty-something printing house worker, keeps his distance from his boyfriend Deividas’s activism—especially as neo-Nazi threats grow louder. Deividas leads Rainbow Kaunas, the group organizing the city’s first Pride, a bold act in Lithuania’s second-largest city. One night, coming back after a fight, Andrius finds Deividas murdered. Seeing indifferent reactions from society and the police, Andrius' grief hardens into resolve. Determined to uncover the truth, Andrius embarks on a dangerous descent into the very extremist world that may have taken the person he loved.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with director and producer Romas Zabarasukas, offering behind-the-scenes insight into the film’s urgent themes and creation, current LGBTQ+ affairs and developments in Lithuania and the Baltic States.
