Wild East (Kur vedīs ceļš), dir. Matīss Kaža, 95’, Latvia, 2021

The first Latvian western tells the story of Eva, a sixteen-year-old aristocrat who goes missing from the Baron’s manor on the day of her arranged wedding. When Eva’s nurse Magda is found murdered in the manor’s stables, an investigation starts where everyone is a suspect. The baron’s henchmen and the local law enforcement set out to find the girl and bring her back to the Baron, but Eva will do everything it takes to secure her freedom.
