After twenty years, Ori returns to the bus stop where her dad always accompanied her until the peak of the Depression, after unexpectedly discovering the audio recordings of his diary on her dad's phone, as well as the electronic music he made. She returns to have a frank talk with him and to apologise for being too young to understand what was going on in the family and for not being able to be there for him in the way he needed at the time. The silent apology opens, millimetre by millimetre, with a fragile confession and an oath: "Dad, I swear, I will do everything I can to make your music speak for both of us."
This musical one-man show gently opens up a very sensitive subject: what is happening in the home of the depressed dad and what is happening in the home of the depressed daughter, who can see and feel it all. What happens when the illness seems to penetrate not only the body, the mind, but also the walls of the house, to which one day no one wants to return.
According to the author of the play, Paulijus Ignatavičius, "Code F32 was born out of an experimentation with oneself, looking for a way out of the hamlet-like melancholy that is depression". In 2023, the play won the first prize in the playwriting competition organised by the Alytus City Theatre, was included in the author's PhD project, and became an inspiration for his writing.
Maybe the hero of the play only needs to do a few things - to emotionally detach himself from the indiscriminate running in search of the right way out of the labyrinth of problems, and to try to focus on the other person next to him instead of on himself. And then you can see that love has always been closer than you expected. That it is both in the eyes of the other and inside you.
