Спустя почти 30 лет после распада СССР мы наблюдаем возвращение риторики тоталитаризма. Режиссер Иво Бриедис и журналист Рита Рудуша отправляются в документальное путешествие, чтобы исследовать феномен так называемого Homo Sovieticus, его географические и культурные особенности.

Уже семь лет Ева страдает загадочной болезнью: у нее аллергия на все запахи и химические вещества, кроме того, ее мучают депрессия и панические атаки. Она живет в полной изоляции, выходит на улицу только в специальном скафандре и служит «подопытным кроликом» для экспериментов врачей, пытающихся выяснить природу ее болезни. Исследователи понимают лишь одно: всё дело в психике. Больше всего Еву угнетает отсутствие физических контактов с людьми — к ней приходят только брат и психиатр, который должен написать отчет о ее состоянии. Психиатр и Ева ведут долгие беседы о том, что такое любовь, в чем разница между сексом и настоящей близостью, доступной, в отличие от секса, далеко не каждому.

This film is an attempt to make sure whether the codes of the poetic cinema are still relevant and accessible today.

After the fall of the Soviet Union large numbers of immigrants from the East stayed in Latvia for good, Latvians simply call them “Russians”. Over 20 years of independence later mutual suspicion and bias are still there in the most part of the local community. Therefore, a Latvian director involves an independent Russian speaking Norwegian colleague in helping him understand Latvian “Russians” and coming up with an integration plan. But soon enough it becomes clear that only Latvians themselves can manage the challenge. And so begins director’s journey away from the division “us / them”.

Three young men head to an isolated country house to shoot a film that they hope will bring them fame. They have no experience, but possess the will to change their lives. They make various attempts, but none seem to work. The team comes to a creative impasse, but the stakes are too high to give up. In hopes of drawing out their talents, they spend more and more time chipping away at each other. Previously hidden character traits come to light further complicating their relationship and the making of the film. Soon it's each man for himself. Just when the experiment seems utterly failed, one of them is discovered dead. It's not clear whether it's accidental, suicide or murder, but a real body in the scene satisfies - this could be the start of The Film.
