It's very film-school - with the obligatory little gimmicks that do nothing but annoy...the final section is am-dram theatre - literally...this is amateur - rather than melo - ...dramatics.

The(ir) Blurb...

Created as a reaction to the state's homophobia in Lithuania, a short film "Porno Melodrama" tells an original story about the dangers of love. Jonas enjoys his life with his boyfriend Matas, but he wants to emigrate from homophobic Lithuania. In order to earn money, Jonas accepts to star in a porno film with his ex-girlfriend Akvile. But what if some unrequited love still lingers in Akvile's heart?
