Porno Melodrama (2011) premiered in the Berlinale Panorama, marking one of the first queer stories in Lithuanian cinema. Jonas shares a loving life with his boyfriend Matas, yet dreams of escaping homophobic Lithuania. Desperate to fund their departure, he accepts an unexpected offer from his ex-girlfriend Akvilė to co-star in a porn film. In his debut short, Zabarauskas playfully reverses stereotypes through a melodramatic pastiche.
