Fiction, Keep Smiling, mom! (Mamma vēl smaida), dir. Elza Gauja, 100', Latvia, 2022
Three sisters, dead broke and disconnected from each other, travel around Europe with their mother’s corpse on top of their van, trying to minimize transportation costs. The trio has to talk, reminisce and maybe even admit that underneath their fantasies of perfection – these are women in a desperate search for freedom.
To be released October 2022
