Mājas ceļa malā (2000)

The film is a typical auteur work with an observant but emotionally charged attitude. The film's action takes place while driving past the villages of Latgale. The houses are located right by the road, but few people manage to cross the threshold of this peculiar way of life. The people are welcoming and open if you manage to speak to them from the heart, but the peculiarity of this life remains an unfathomable mystery. The film crew visited more than 20 homes in Tiskādi, Poromonovka, Ružāni, and Silmale, listened to stories of life and death, sang along with the cheerful ones, and mourned with the sad ones. The result of these human encounters is a film about a world of isolation and immeasurable vitality – the Old Believer villages of Latgale.
