Arvīds Ozoliņš

A film about national belonging, featuring Latvian director Alvis Hermanis.

Fairytale of the the good girl and the bad girl, who gets the prince?

The movie shows a young man's life dramatically changed after his friend is murdered. It is ironic - if to look with today's eyes - and nostalgia evoking portrait of marginal society and environment in the early 1990s with allusions to the western cinema - film noir related themes, surrealistic features, avantgard cinema stylization and formal aesthetics.
