Twenty-something printing house worker Andrius (Robertas Petraitis) is skeptical about the activist work of his boyfriend Deividas (Elvinas Juodkazis) and fears that they may soon become the targets of neo-Nazis.
Deividas is the head of “Rainbow Kaunas,” a group organizing the first Pride celebration in the second biggest city of Lithuania. One night, after coming back from a fight, Andrius finds that Deividas has been murdered.
Seeing indifferent reactions from the police – and from Lithuanian society at large – Andrius takes on a new mission: to infiltrate the local neo-Nazi organization, find his boyfriend’s killer and serve his own brand of justice.
