NRFive twenty-somethings, in search of an authentic life, move into an isolated country house full of books. Living in the carelessness of youth, with time, practical problems and the immature nature of young people create tension. Everyone has romanticized the idea of an independent and responsibility-free life – running away from reality, they run right into it.

NRInstead of Einars Pelšs' eighth poetry book, he publishes his collected works, but the buyer of the book receives an ordinary brick. He translates the authors of the Russian Golden Age and publishes them under his own name, challenging the boundaries of literature. Is a poet who makes fun of art unique or exactly what we expect from contemporary authors? Einarrative is an extraordinary story that portrays the narrative of the life of Einārs Pelšs. In the film, this narrative is an experience of contrasting changes both in its visual style and in Einars’ poetic works and personality, allowing him to get involved in the depiction of the narrative himself, making the film as Einārs Pelšs' audiovisual collected works.

NRJānis Greste collected various objects throughout his life and hoped that they would be useful for education in the future. His energy was harder than a rock. A hundred years ago, he created the the beginning of the modern Latvian National Museum of Literature. That is why even today we can see a piece of soap that Emīls Dārziņš used to wash himself with, or a board on which Rainis wrote.

In the summer of 1941, German troops began a series of mass executions in the Latvian coastal city of Liepāja. Over the course of several months, firing squads killed over 5,000 Jews there. A German soldier filmed one of these executions. The footage surfaced after the War. These roughly 90 seconds of found footage, believed to be the only surviving film record of mass executions of Jews by the Einsatzgruppen, form the source material for this chilling film.
