The Big "O"

My dear, we are back to look at today's press.

And we see some hot pics:

This is naked, gay, Romas Zabarauskas!

He writes that on Friday the director has successfully financed his new film.

He promised to send naked pictures of those who have donated.

Many wanted to see it and he gathered 20 thousand dollars!

While films Romas are not successful from a commercial point of view, as I said before DELPHI

Now it can easily change the way they work.

Bitch.

Indre!

Romas!

Oh my God...

Sorry I come here so unexpectedly.

Sorry ...

No problem.

I did not call in advance.

No no ... I just can not believe it.

Well, come on.

My God, I have so many questions for you.

Do you want tea?

Yes please.

Thanks.

Red is really good.

I bought it in London. Try it.

I chamomile.

Chamomile is also good.

Can you buy it in Moscow?

This is very Lithuanian.

I do not know. I do not drink it there.

This is somewhat Lithuanian, right?

Actually, not really Lithuanian.

How are you?

All right.

Very good.

How was your premiere?

On Pudding Russian ?

All right. It went really well.

He is a good director.

Super.

Mhm.

How are you?

Okay, all right.

We showed "Kill RIOT" here and there.

But we did not win.

I know I still owe you.

Oh, you think about it you've come?

I do not know...

Well, I can understand.

How's your love life?

Very good.

I showed the film in Mexico and I got a boyfriend.

Really? - Yes.

Mexico, but it's so far away?

Yes, but he's here.

Where?

Here. You want to call him? He sleeps.

Oh, the fat?

No, do not cry now.

What's wrong?

What happened?

I went...

I went...

Not...

Not.

I was spotted by famous acting teacher

Gina Kaplan.

It works with many stars in Hollywood.

A month ago there was a master class in Moscow.

She noticed me among a thousand participants.

I appeared with improvisation and she noticed me.

Then I propose ... to enroll in the courses it.

And I agreed.

I decided to drop everything ... I go.

But I needed the money.

The courses cost 20 000 dollars, not to mention the cost of living.

I came to Lithuania to take my money.

She owes me.

When my parents divorced,

My father left me half the house where she now lives.

It was quite clearly defined.

But my mother ...

she never gave me anything.

She said: "If you want, come to live here."

But mom ...

I do not even live in Lithuania.

But maybe she has no money?

There.

She married a successful businessman.

Just use me to avenge my father.

She wants his attention.

This is unfair!

So she promised me money.

He promised to cover my LA.

We made a deal.

She said: "Come, we'll go to the bank and will fix everything."

I came from Moscow. This whole time.

And again the same crap.

It would give me only half, and I ask the rest of his father.

This is unfair.

It should give me my share.

My father fix things with it long ago.

He even told me to give it a trial.

And how do you cope?

I took the keys to the safe.

The safe is ... in an ugly picture ... of Saremas Souk.

I fell off.

I opened the safe.

And then she blocked my way.

I pushed her away from the safe.

It was an accident.

Really, really not going.

Then he began to scream.

And I hate it when she screams.

And again I pushed it.

I rocked two, three times as much.

Romas, I think I did something wrong.

Niyole Grubiene, the mother of the famous actress Indre Latina

He was found dead in her home.

Police suspect murder.

Not yet named a suspect.

The body of Niyole Grubiene found in her home.

Police officers are in place.

Anyone who has relevant information to contact us as soon as possible,

said police officer Nerius Dambrauskas from the scene of the crime.

I do not know.

Niyole Grubiene was married to ...

Give me your phone.

... a businessman Audrius Grubis.

Her daughter, Indre Latino lives and works in Moscow.

What if?

Everything will be fine.

But if they ...?

Really?

Answer.

Who is it?

Hello?

Hello, Romas, this is Diana, I'm sorry to bother.

Did you hear the news?

What news?

Mother of actress girlfriend was found dead.

Whom?

Indre Latina.

Do you know her mother?

No, I do not know her.

Really? I am now a crime scene.

Her stepfather and the police are here ...

This is a terrible event.

Just think who might know something ...

I do not know what to tell you.

But maybe you know someone who may have some information?

No, no.

Well then.

You can write what you think, that it has nothing to do with it.

I think so.

Thanks.

Who was it?

Journalist from Delft.

I'm fucked.

You can not go to the airport.

Stole them?

I have not stolen. I took them.

You can not escape from Lithuania

We will go down a side road and cross the border with Poland ...

or not, now no limits. We are one of the European Union.

Then Germany.

We pass France, Spain and finally we get to Portugal.

In Portugal will hire a spot somewhere in the mountains.

No questions asked.

When things settle down, we'll come visit.

Stay here.

Do you want something?

Give me the tablet.

Eto.

Did you get water?

Get down.

I had to tell me that you want, but I took the water.

Where is Carlos?

He went to smoke.

We do not smoke.

Do not be stupid.

Not stupid.

Come with me!

Not!

What the hell?

I do not understand anything!

What?

You do not translate anything.

Baby, I'm sorry.

Look, your girlfriend kill her mother. No need help.

Well, not so simple.

The mother of my girlfriend not good.

They quarrel, the mother died.

But she's my friend and you must help her.

Can we go now?

If you come with me, you can fuck me tonight.

They suspect me.

Police declared me as a suspect.

What?

Eight years in prison.

This penalty would expect Indre Latina actress if convicted.

Wait wait...

Life sentence?

Why?

Because it's your mother.

What is the difference?

There is a difference.

But why?

Why?

Indre Latina is the main suspect in the murder of his mother.

Police are asking anyone who has seen the actress

or who has related information to contact them immediately.

Gay director Romas Zabarauskas in an exclusive interview DELPHI:

"I do not think she could do that."

Look, maybe to stop.

Me sick.

Carlos.

Carlos!

Carlos, help Indre.

Give to me. - No.

Give to me. - No, no ... I do not want.

Give me.

Not.

Give me.

What are you doing?

Stop.

Stop.

Damn it.

Why?

A?

Shoot our last film.

Every story has a beginning, middle and end.

Each story is a metaphor of life.

We tell stories all the time.

So we humans communicate and connect with each other.

Throughout history, people have told stories.

In fact, the story itself is a collection of stories.

There are many theories about why people so like stories.

According to psychoanalytic theory, based on Sigmund Freud

that our desire to tell motivated both by our sex and death of our impulses.

Our sex impulse, Eros

us to create,

to have sex, to have children

To leave a trace on our society or humanity

leave stories behind, to produce meaning.

Our mortal impulse, Thanatos,

is our secret desire to dissolve into nothing we have ever been.

This urge us to partake of the end of history.

But the story should have enough changes and iterations

we can believe in this region.

Finally, we want some sexual texture

then death

dissolving into nothing.

This is what we want from our lives

And that is what we want from our stories, too.

Mother

Hello? - Hello.

Hello.

How are you? - Okay.

You make it? I can call later ,.

No, no need.

Going somewhere?

I...

We go to the beach with Carlos.

Really? He said nothing,

We figured it only this morning.

Oh, well. I read about Indre.

Yes.

You know about that?

Yes.

This is terrible ...

Awful.

But you're good, right?

Yes.

Romas, are you really better?

I am very shocked ... It's very strange and sad.

I see. ..

Well, Mom, we'll talk later, okay?

Well well...

Gotta go, bye, bye

What she said?

Nothing.

Were you suspicious?

No do not worry.

And she knows about Carlos and everything else?

What do you mean?

Well, you're together?

Yes, my mother is very progressive.

And your father?

My father is very religious, they divorced and I do not maintain contact with him.

Sorry I asked.

No, no problem.

My mother and her parents support me a lot.

I just think that sometimes do not have enough feeling.

I do not have feelings for myself, for my family, friends ...

... Carlos.

Should you speak English? - No need.

It is not nice, is it?

I said there was no need.

Well, but you work with movies, and they deal with feelings.

But you do not like my films!

I do not like how I play in them.

Well, I'll tell you a story.

A few months ago I was collecting class.

All spoke of their work that are married or unmarried, and so on.

Our teacher who organized everything

He showed us videos of theater performances of different years.

It was all recorded with a cheap camera.

I had a major role in all of them.

Watching him, I realized that I'm not a good actor.

I was even a really bad actor.

You were a child.

No, wait a second.

I thought again and again and decided to invite her to dinner.

We went to a restaurant.

And I asked her why let me play and why I gave the lead roles.

At first she just laughed.

But finally he admitted that it was her way to thank my parents

financial support of the theater.

Exaggerating.

I'm not exaggerating.

My parents have always defended me,

and I felt as if I never achieved anything alone.

But you achieved a lot.

Yes, but only with the help of my parents.

What are you doing?

Romas!

Wait!

Wait!

Here is beautiful.

Another theory says

we want one thing from our heroes, because our common sense

and another thing from our desire to tell.

For example, the movie "Titanic"

Our common sense tells us

the best finale would be all to stay alive and in love forever.

But at the same time we want something tragic to happen to our heroes

because we know that this will make a better story.

It is this clash of opposing desires entertain us.

Get the phone.

I do a movie.

The film is boring you.

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Carlos, come here.

Question for you.

You are legally here?

Here in Lithuania, you know?

What are you doing?

It is interesting! - No it is not.

Visa until July. - What what? Say it again?

Visa until July.

Oh, I see.

And then what?

It's all over?

Why shoot?

I do a movie. Let's do this!

So ...

your love story will end?

Then I'll go to Mexico ...

Wow ...

And then it's bye bye Carlos?

I'll go to Mexico.

Or will earn acting visa Carlos.

Or he will remain here illegally.

Give it back to me.

The movie needs drama! Drama!

We make a movie, right?

Right?

Then tell me why killed his mother.

Fool.

You think about the money?

No, not for the money.

Did not tactful.

You killed her for something else.

You want to know why?

So tell me. Tell me, why, shit.

Your grandfather was a famous writer known genius.

He has written several best-seller.

He has won awards, met with our president.

Your father was also a brilliant writer

journalist.

So what?

They are the best of us.

They are the voices of their generations and you always wanted to be like them.

And what this bad is it?

Well, not ...

But look, they are men, and you're a woman.

And you hate it.

And you pedal ..

In Lithuanian society only men are considered geniuses.

Men create. Women played.

And you hated it all. That's why he hated his mother.

Your mother was a very ordinary woman.

He knew nothing about art.

She only interested in you, he loves you and they teased.

And I was afraid to become like her - stereotypical woman.

Shut up.

She was convinced that femininity that you got it, they prevented

from reaching fame.

Look, really, shut up.

You want to kill her femininity.

You're a man.

Shut up!

Shit.

Now it will hurt.

Take this.

You really are crazy.

Really, really sorry.

While we are discussing the history of psychoanalytic perspective

it might be interesting to note,

that psychoanalysis is itself an exercise of narrative construction.

Psychoanalyst hears stories, dreams, associations of his or her friends

and then tries to incorporate them into relevant story.

It is this narrative and honest repetitions in the behavior of those

helping the patient to understand better their lives.

Do not stop.

I like old tunes that no one is listening ...

At night I listen to metal ...

Boys!

When all the neighbors are sleeping ...

I like to live that way ...

Kato snob?

And to be independent ...

To be master of himself ...

And I love the way I warm the,

I like to live that way ...

And to be independent ...

To be master of himself ...

And I love the way me warm.

Yes Yes Yes...

Damn it...

Where are you going? - To pee.

We have a spare tire, but will not get us out to Portugal.

Indra run. - What?

I said run!

Hello.

Hello.

This is me.

It's you...

Carlos, I need to run, police here.

I come with you.

Thank you very much, officer.

I could not do it myself.

No problem, really.

Check for dzhigit nearby

I saw that you are in trouble, and I thought I could help.

There is not much to do here.

But you were not alone?

I'm not alone?

I saw two people who ran into the woods.

Yes, that's true...

They were stopdzhii.

And you left it?

... They said they would cross through the woods.

People these days ...

To save your ...

I can not any more.

Do you hate me?

I hate.

Look, I'm sorry.

Everything is fine.

How did you meet Romas?

In Mexico.

Yes but how?

It shows film.

Do you like how I play?

Yes...

Thanks.

Can I ask you: Why are you with Romas?

I do not understand.

Well, forget it.

So, what are you doing in life?

Guess.

I do not know, really.

Guess.

Well ...

Perhaps his war veteran? You are so hefty.

No, no war. Peace.

Something with tourism?

Not.

Well, I really do not know. I'm very bad with conjecture.

I'm an escort.

Escort?

What do you mean?

Gay fee.

Oh really?

I 'm sorry. I guess it's not my job.

Everything is fine.

You mean that Romas pay you?

Yes.

How?

Four thousand Euro.

And how long you are together?

Four months.

This is a large sum of money.

Oh, I remembered ....

You're the one gay director Romas Zabarauskas!

Yeah ... Oh, man, awesome!

What?

Our boss, it's also, you know it too.

She always praises what you do.

Unbelievable.

Well then...

I'll be back to checking my speed.

Thank you very much, officer.

No problem, Romas. Have a nice trip.

Cop!

Your jacket.

Thanks Romas. - You're welcome.

What's wrong?

Nothing, just ...

Money.

It's about money.

You know, I participate in television series and commercials in Russia.

And I paid. Pay me very well.

But I do not like what I do.

I sell.

Participate in any nonsense.

When I participate in interesting projects

something I believe in,

I never pay.

Romas, for example, I never paid anything.

Everything is fine...

Just think ...

Why do this?

Because of fame?

Because art?

I just feel that I am also escort Carlos.

Your heart speaks correctly.

We've lost my way.

Really?

Yes, can you imagine?

We are running and then stopped,

We look around and realized that we do not know where we are.

You are looking for us?

No, I was afraid I would lose.

And how it all ended?

Shooting speed. He helped me change the tire.

What are you doing?

We go to the house of the grandmother and my grandfather for the night.

It is beautiful.

But why it is so dusty?

Nobody was here in the last ten years.

Why not?

We stopped coming here after my parents divorced.

I told my mother that I was gay.

She understood, but my father could not.

He threw me out of the house.

My mother saved me.

She and my grandparents brought me here.

They have brought food and took me to school every day.

Yes ... thrown out of my home.

He gave me a thousand Euros.

A thousand litas.

And she told me to live alone and then figure out who I think I am.

My mother could not throw me out ...

When my father discovered what he had done to help me be furious.

They divorced and we never seen him.

That's terrible.

Still, I continue to think.

What if I had taken the thousand and tried to live alone?

Perhaps now would be so spoiled?

But then there would be such stupid movies ...

There would be Carlos.

There would be Indre.

The bedrooms are upstairs.

Wait.

I want to tell you something.

I ...

I decided to go home.

What?

I want to go to the police and confess.

Why?

You were right.

Throughout my life I wanted to be like my father or my grandfather.

I wanted to be a genius and I fought for a long time.

But there is no way to fight for it.

You either have it or not.

And I did not.

I think I have.

Let's say I have it. - You really have it.

To say so. Let's say I have it.

But then I made a mistake.

I was wrong, Romas.

Why?

Because I did something immoral.

He did what you did.

But do you want to spend his last days in prison?

Don `t you understand,

it is worse to live your whole life knowing that I killed your mother?

It would be awful ...

Even for my own freedom is not worth it.

I can not.

I decided. I want to go to the police and tell them everything.

My conscience will be clear.

This does not fit the script.

What scenario?

The movie that we do.

For what movie are you talking about?

We'll talk tomorrow.

Wait a minute...

Damn your movie.

For what movie are you talking about?

Nonsense that we shot with your phone?

These "nonsense" are actually really good storyline with classic characters.

What characters?

We'll talk tomorrow.

No, Romas, delete everything.

Carlos told me that his pay!

What?

Maybe you should first pay me before I shoot on tape bullshit, right?

I'm famous director.

And you're too incompetent to express an opinion at all.

Romas, you have no talent.

Wait ...

Stop!

No, stop!

Sorry.

For what?

This is just a game.

I know you're tired.

But perhaps this final shoot deadly scene?

Which scene?

The latter.

In the end, you go to the police.

So we should shoot to finish the film.

All right.

So, give me the knife.

Give me the phone.

ONE YEAR LATER

Hello!

Sorry.

Good evening all.

I am happy that today our gallery presents a new Lithuanian film.

This launch is part of Film Forum in Vilnius and expand into new areas.

I do not think you should present Romas Zabarauskas.

But I'm happy to present his work in the contemporary art scene.

Let's welcome Romas Zabarauskas.

Romas, I still have not seen the film, but I wanted to ask what inspired you?

What inspired me ...

I prepared, but I'm not prepared for questions.

Please stage is yours.

Thanks.

I am very happy that I came here.

We can be sure that in this hall is the new Lithuania.

Lithuania without racism, sexism or homophobia!

Applause!

Thanks.

When you write scripts, I dance.

I just dance.

I play some music and dance in my room with all my energy.

Dance until forget your body and stay with his thoughts, alone.

But this time no written script.

I turned the camera I shot and how dance.

I'm not a professional dancer.

Let me watch the dance interesting enough is it?

You decide.

But at least one day, I can say that I danced.

I danced.

Dad

Some theories say that traditional film narrative, as we know,

It is actually a historical practice.

Feminists blame this story to reinforce patriarchal norms.

In fact, the structure of the story is often compared to an act of male orgasm.

The climax of the story is ejaculation.

At least say these theorists.

We should rather try to escape from a patriarchal form of stories

and instead do something more avant-garde and experimental.

Structure in three acts, c orgasm and its entertainment value.

All this can be seen as neoliberal art form

designed to give rise to emotions and manipulate viewer,

to preserve the existing social boundaries.

Let's say for a moment that the story is a metaphor of life.

Then let's say that the story, which I photographed does not make sense.

Does this mean that the meaning does not matter?

What if life has no meaning?

Romas!

Should we then stop completely stories on the topic?

Or maybe, in fact, we have ten stories to pretend ...

To stop it?

that life makes sense.

Not.

Maybe we tell all these stories

neo-liberal and avant-garde, historical and psychoanalytical,
