Alcohol, violence and extreme poverty make the remote Latvian countryside a living hell. When Zandas (28) incestuous brother is sent to jail for abusing their children, the young mother attempts to escape the vicious circle.
A family-portrait like you've never seen before ... shocking, surreal and stunning.A pure cinematic masterpiece, synonymical for cruel rural realities in the post-soviet era.
