In "7 Sins" Inčiūraitė asks seven sportswomen living in seven different Lithuanian cities to speak about their opinions on the seven deadly sins – sloth, pride, wrath, gluttony, lust, envy, and greed – from a contemporary perspective. The sportswomen chosen for this film compete in one-on-one sports, a metaphorical duality which expresses the two sides of the women’s identity – the dark and the light. This film is a visualisation of human duality, of the internal personal struggle, constant in both art and life. The documentary paints a portrait of each woman as a contemporary heroine fighting against adversity while at the same time tenaciously working towards their dreams and personal legends.
