The film’s protagonists wander both through the city’s spaces and their inner worlds, trying to understand where their home and their identity lie.

 LOVING, dir. Vesta Tučkutė, fiction, 2026, 13 min., Lithuania, USA

Through small fragments of shared moments—swimming in a lake, nighttime conversations, and a quiet farewell—the film sensitively reveals the beauty of fragile transience and the longing for love. An intimate and subtle story about how we remember, forget, and preserve the people who shape us.

She wanders through the changing streets and encounters colorful locals, but as night falls, reaching her destination becomes increasingly difficult. The film is a poetic reflection on constant movement and the desire to belong.
