Five and a Half Love Stories in an Apartment in Vilnius, Lithuania is a collection of intertwined stories, told through the eyes of an old AirBnB apartment.

Philip, an aging Hungarian bachelor, fights for a second chance with a local girl; Mykolas, a young stripper, has his secret rendezvous interrupted by unexpected guests.
