Elijas Malinauskas

In the course of a single day, young Egle is confronted with her mother's suicide and is consumed by the guilt of having caused her death, all because of not being able to write one letter in the alphabet.

This delicately-rendered live action narrative follows the story of a ten-year-old boy and budding entomologist named Juozapas, who was born with his heart outside of his chest. Can Rugile, the fearless new girl in town, help Juozapas gain courage and acceptance to overcome exclusion and the insensitivity of the people around them?
