Summary: A profound love story about two outsiders, LEA is the tale of a beautiful Slovak girl from a rural area who reluctantly marries a German antiques restorer 30 years her senior. The relationship seems doomed, but gradually the two outsiders discover each other’s inner core, because they share a painful past. Though they began their relationship in silence, they gradually learn to speak a common language. Fear turns to passion in a film that explores the outer edges of love, memory and acceptance.
