Marius is a highly successful lawyer based in Vilnius. He becomes obsessed with Ali, a handsome Syrian refugee he first encounters in an online chatroom run out of Belgrade. Marius is rich and enjoys a vibrant social and cultural life. Nevertheless, he feels that something is missing from it. The journey from Lithuania to Serbia is a relatively short one, but can the two navigate their way through the gulf that separates their very different lives? And how do they deal with the precarious obstacles of the physical borders that stand between them? Written and directed by Romas Zabarauskas, The Lawyer questions assumptions about what it means to be an immigrant and the possibilities offered by life in contemporary Europe.

Que cenas longas, o roteiro parece que foi feito no chat gpt. O final apressado por que tudo foi muito demorado pra acontecer, uma pena pois o personagem refugiado era um gostoso.

I am a sucker for the best of the gay cinema we can find and this is a beautiful reason why! Such a gorgeous film, timely subject and half foreign and half English! I don’t mind subtitles. I’m working on the 2020 gay films now...check it out on Dekkoo!
