Short movie. New Voices is a program of relevant and engaging Lithuanian cinema, which presents five short films created by talented new generation Lithuanian directors. Films of various types of cinema are united by the desire to learn about human relationships and offer an authentic approach to the environment around us. Therefore, in the short stories, everything is a little different - the sailor's romance is replaced by homesickness, the desire to win a ballroom dance competition is met with disappointment, tolerance for a person with a disability disappears in a critical situation, images of happy families hide a sad childhood.
