FILMGESPRÄCH: Slow

In the organizer's words:

Special screening in cooperation with the Museum of Communication on the occasion of the current exhibition Apropos Sex! followed by a discussion on the topic of asexuality

Screening in the original Lithuanian version with German subtitles

When dance teacher Elena meets sign language interpreter Dovydas at a course for deaf teenagers, there is an immediate attraction between the two. They meet again and spend time together. Their friendship quickly becomes more and more romantic. But when Elena also seeks physical closeness with Dovydas, he recoils and reveals to her that he is asexual. Both have become so important to each other that they still want to find a way as a couple with a kind of intimacy that feels right for both of them.

About the exhibition Speaking of Sex

October 2, 2024 to September 7, 2025 at the Museum for Communication

Sexuality is identity, fun and difficult to describe in words. Culture, upbringing and images from film and television shape our perception of it. From autumn 2024, the Museum für Kommunikation Frankfurt will be showing how conversations and perceptions about sexuality have changed over the last 100 years, opening up a space for reflection, curiosity and dialog about the most beautiful minor matter in the world. An exhibition with financial support from the Federal Center for Health Education

On presentation of the museum ticket, the cinema price is reduced at the Box Office
