The story of the feature-length feature film will take you to Kaunas in 1944 and Berlin in 1961. "Between thriller and melodrama," - this is how director and screenwriter Kristijonas Vildžiūnas described the genre of this film. The film "When I Hug You" will tell the authentic story of a father and daughter separated during World War II. According to the script, most of the action takes place in Berlin two months before the wall that would finally divide the city into two parts rises. Here, a father and daughter living on different sides of the world and the Iron Curtain strive to meet.
