Europe

Armands and Žaks are two friends who decide to take a closer look at the state of their country and its capital city, Riga. They are well aware of the glossy promotional videos that showcase Latvia as a land of happy people and a thriving economy. However, their own observations paint a different picture. They see a country that is not well-organized, and where any effort to improve things is quickly stifled. They notice that many of the people in power seem to be more concerned with playing their daily theatrics than actually working towards bettering the country. Armands and Žaks come to the realization that most of their fellow citizens are either forgetful or masochistic, as they repeatedly vote for these politicians who are not working towards any actual change. Despite this, the two remain hopeful that things will get better as they remind themselves that they are living in Europe, after all.

Meantime

A working-class family in London's East End is struggling to stay afloat during the recession under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's premiership. Only the mother Mavis is working; father Frank and the couple's two sons Colin, a timid, chronically shy individual and Mark, an outspoken, headstrong young man, are on the dole. This situation is contrasted by the presence of Mavis's sister Barbara, and her husband John, whose financial and social loftiness appears to be a comfortable facade over the unspoken soreness of a lackluster marriage.
