Kill Me Gently

The screening is a part of the Deep Rivers Run Silent programme, coordinated by Meno avilys, presented in a queer diptych together with the Rainbow Musical. It starts the series of the events of the 12th Vilnius Queer Festival Kreivės.

A fabulous old auntie lives in an opulent villa and translates crime stories, takes frequent trips with her Porsche and, when at home, hosts campy disco parties featuring young leather-clad men. One day she gets a visit from her niece Julija, Julija’s husband David and their young lover Adam. When Cita – the aunt’s book editor – joins in, the villa turns into a commune of free love practitioners. But when the seaside paradise becomes the scene of several puzzling crimes and deaths, the campy erotic comedy turns into a bizarre whodunit movie.
