Austėja Urbaitė

Jacqueline - a woman who is obsessed with control - adopts two children from a foreign country with her husband. To help with translation, the kids are accompanied by Gabriele, a twenty-year-old who is just starting to taste the sweetness of power.

It's a story based on a novel "The Etude" which is written by Jonas Mekas, a Lithuanian filmmaker, poet and artist who has often been called the godfather of American avant-garde cinema. It's a poetical story about two young theatre actors who are given a task - to create an étude, to imagine a story. Through their rehearsal they are trying to recreate a true event of their life in order to find a peace in their souls. By discovering the beauty of small details in life young people are trying to get rid of their fear for death in understanding that death is a memory of one's living. The dot is the ending - and the beginning.

Two young people, old friends Olivija and Matas, go on a kayak trip in late autumn. Neither is aware of each other's plans and everything works out just fine until one of them says I Love You. As the kayak seems to be as fragile as their friendship they now have to face wild nature and their choices.
