Luke is an up-and-coming DJ from an affluent New York family with a Lithuanian father and an African-American mother. When Luke hears from an estranged grandmother in Lithuania, he defies his parents and decides to visit this far-away country, flying straight to the capital city Vilnius. He falls in love with the city, a rebellious girl called Marta, and the local music scene - the beatmakers - promoted by an aggressive gay manager, Andy. Luke's grandma's connections get him a deal with the municipality to become the manager of a new nightclub, and he takes up the challenge... but the deal turns out to be poisoned, forcing Luke to rebel in ways he never imagined. —Anonymous

I don't know how I feel about this movie

I watched this movie when it premiered in lithuanian theaters, and what can I say, this is one of those "so bad it's good" movies. I rivals Troll 2 and Birdemic in it's incompetency. I don't remember many details, as it was a long time ago. But I do remember that I started laughing halway into the movie at the absurd plot that took it self way too seriously. The main plot is something a scoobydoo villain would think of, and they fell short of making whoever the main antagonist was twirl a classic cartoon villain mustache, and tie a fair trans dame to a railroad track. Santabarbara had more nuanced plots then this movie. It tried super hard to portrai it self absolutely seriously as some grand pro LGBT message (I have no problem with that), bet the script just came off as written by an 10 year old. I would give it a 0, but I did laugh alot and I was almost entertained, so I'll give it a 5 for effort. Beter luck next time ...
