Kultūras pils

The State Electrotechnical Factory's cultural palace, or vefiņš, was opened on March 1, 1960, and was allocated for the factory's needs. However, today science has been banished from these walls. Alongside the brightest local pop artists, countless feet and legs dressed in pastels tread the boards of this stage every year to determine which group will take center stage at the Daugava Stadium during the Song and Dance Festival. Meanwhile, the young, promising and provocative documentary filmmaker Ingmārs Somis has come here to make a film about the "other side" of folk dancing on stage - about nationalistic programming, worn-out feet, sunburn and blouses tucked into underpants. He has decided to expose the teachers, lecture the parents, liberate the dancers, destroy the VEF cultural palace, get hold of the Great Kristaps and enter the Latvian cultural canon.

Ana Can Do Everything

Ana Canales is a young Christian woman who has been working for a few months at the Refugio Cafe, a Christian NGO that helps refugees in Berlin. There she meets Bibi, a young Iranian woman who works at the cafe, and who is soon to be deported from the country. At a birthday party the two of them speak for the first time, and Ana discovers a reciprocated attraction to Bibi. Unable to confront what she feels and at the same time concerned about Bibi's situation, Ana sets out to help her even if it means being honest with herself and with God.
