The atmosphere in the home of Emilija and Antanas, once known as the musical duo ‘Kyla Vėjas!’, has finally settled into a warm, steady rhythm. A year has passed since they chose to adopt you, bypassing infants for a child old enough to avoid the chaos of diapers, yet young enough to need their care. The camera pans across a living room where silence is no longer heavy, but comfortable. Emilija and Antanas watch with tender eyes as you, once closed off by trauma, now speaks freely and allows the gentle embrace of the parents who have dedicated themselves to healing them through therapy, patience, and unwavering love.
