About the film

What it’s about

Ten-year-old Juozapas lives with a rare condition: his heart is outside his chest, shielded by a shell and a thick pad. He finds solace in an insect hotel he built in an abandoned manor, tending to its tiny residents. When Rugile, a bold new girl, moves to town, she disrupts his secluded world and urges him to confront his fears.

What hooks you

The film's score is composed by Johann Raila Jonas Jurkunas.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who appreciate gentle, character-driven stories about friendship and overcoming personal challenges, where quiet moments speak louder than action.
