Nakon što je u aprilu  2012. godine na filmskom festivalu u San Petersburgu cenzurisan kratki film "BETWEEN BODIES" kao dirktna poslijedica ruskog zakona o anti gay propagandi reditelj Anais Sartini je snimio ovaj kratki film koji nam prikazuje kako gejevi u Rusiji gube dio svog identiteta i naprosto postaju nevidljivi u ruskom društvu.

Clément, francuski glumac odlazi na filmski festival u San Peterburgu i ubrzo nakon dolaska shvata da je za ostale ljude nevidljiv. Niko ga ne može vidjeti niti čuti.
Prolazeće pored jednog gradskog izloga primjetio je da ne vidi svoj odraz u ogledalu. Susreće jednog gej momka koji ga je zamolio za upaljač kako bi upalio cigaretu. Začuđen kako ga on može vidjeti, a ostali ne, Andrej mu objašnjava da su u rusiji svi gejevi nestali za sav ostali svijet. Nemaju prava da budu vidljivi.
Moli Clémenta da kada se vrati u Paris prenese poruku svijetu da gej ljudi u Rusiji još uvjek postoje, da osjećaju,da vide i čuju i da im treba pomoć za koji mogu jedino reći Spasibo - Hvala.

Clément, a French actor, goes to Saint Petersburg to participate into a film festival. When he gets there, he realizes he has disappeared: nobody can hear him and see him. He meets Andrei, a Russian gay who lives the same thing.

In april 2012, our short-film BETWEEN BODIES has been censored by the Parisian Season’s Festival in Saint-Petersbourg. A law, which came into force the 17 march 2012, prohibits «the propaganda of homosexuality».
In reaction to the censoreship, we came to Saint Petersbourg to make SPASIBO. This short-film denounces the social invisibility who are reduced homosexuals in Russia. The film is marked by urgency and spontaneity in which it was made.
