When Elena, a dancer, meets Dovydas, a sign language interpreter, their connection sparks instantly and intensely. However, when Dovydas discloses that he’s asexual, it alters the dynamic of their relationship. Centered around communication, music and dance, this contemporary love tale delves into the journey of two individuals creating their unique form of intimacy. Winner of Best Director (World Cinema) at Sundance Film Festival 2023 and Lithuania’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars.
Reviews
‘The dialogue is an engaging mix of emotional honesty and trivial musings and the leads are as charismatic as they are natural, while the handheld camerawork emphasises the film’s sense of authenticity.’
★★★★
Emma Simmonds, The Radio Times
‘With strong performances by Grinevičiūtė and Cicėnas, Elena and Dovydas’s relationship unfolds at a gentle, unhurried pace, their growing attraction indicated by small details that reward attentive viewing.’
Rebecca Liu, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
