First Latgalian movie made with love and passion of small enthusiast group. Rollercoaster of fun, action and good music. Story about friendship, criminal business and Latgalia.
For the first time, enthusiasts of four major extreme sports come together to make a trip of a lifetime in their own country. They choose not to spend a stack of money crossing borders, but instead they stay in Latvia and explore the countryside in the southeast, which is known as the land of blue lakes – Latgale. It’s an unheard-of experience, putting skateboarders, rollerbladers, MTB and BMX riders together in a van for 12 days, just to see what happens. Each rider has his own story to tell, and together they form a 53-minute-long documentary film that reveals a wild story to remember. One that will hopefully inspire you to get up and make your own story.
Road's End is the story of Daina who lives in Latgale in Eastern Latvia, close by the Russian border. She lives two miles from the nearest road, with no electricity or running water. The roof has collapsed. She is completely dependent upon herself in order to cope with her everyday life. Daina’s children have both emigrated, her son to Norway and her daughter to Italy. When she feels lonely, she goes to her husband's grave and sits there talking with him as if he were still alive. Road’s end is a both poetic and existential film about choices we make in life, about obstinacy, love and betrayal.
