It would never have occurred to the passionate dancer Elena to have a love affair without sex. But when she falls head over heels in love with sign language interpreter Dovydas, there is no way around it for the two of them. Because Dovydas is asexual. Is the emotional connection between them strong enough for a happy relationship in which Dovydas is not sexually attracted to Elena? SLOW is a love story like you've never seen before. Marija Kavtaradze sensitively and authentically tells the story of two people who become close without sleeping together. This romantic drama is carried by two charismatic protagonists who captivate you from the very beginning.
