PLOT
This is a version of Riga. It does not exist in the scope of grand events, but rather in the mundane, in gestures and in that, which is recognisable. Thus emerges a portrait of the city through the eyes of a new generation – with a slightly glazed look, lightly clenched teeth, and an always surrendering heart. Valters is a boy from Riga, a twenty-year-old who is more attracted to life on the opposite side of the sea than to the aches of coming of age. Oscillating between his duties as a sailor, a loving relationship that is beginning to show cracks, and a routine life, he searches for meaning in the excesses of written surfeits.
