Aiva Birbele

Comedy Latvia annual stand-up celebration and awarding of the best comedians of 2022.

By chance, Louise and Kaspars meet on a trip to celebrate Midsummer’s Eve. She’s running away from annoying neighbours and general sense of pointlessness; he’s running away from a failing marriage. They’re both young, talented, and lost; they both want to become artists; they’re both unsure how to go on about their lives. Maybe that’s why their shared trip turns into a strange, sometimes funny and sometimes complicated journey through a relationship over the course of three years.

Female stand-up by Inga Gaile, Džemma Sudraba, Lydia Oyeniyi, Una Rozenbauma, and Aiva Birbele. Stories include such topics as men in politics, the pandemic, snobs in province, and life in general.

A free screen adaptation of Part 1 of Old Stender's "High Wisdom from the World and Nature". The outskirts of the Duchy of Courland-Nemesgal, second half of the 18th century, serfdom not yet abolished. The pastor, writer and scientist Gotthard Friedrich Stender lives among superstitious Latvians, passionately trying to understand them, enlighten them and bring them to their senses. To this end, he writes a book about the way the world is ordered.
