Hello, Horse. That Awful Road
Approached by locals, Laila Pakalniņa was urged to film the surroundings of what they call "that horrible road." This is a seemingly ordinary Latvian country road, but one that contains in its landscape much of the national sentiment: something that changes but remains the same.
Under this premise, Pakalniņa claims to film also the opposite: that which always remains as it is yet keeps changing anyway. Silent and powerfully evocative, these postcards speak to us of the soul of a country in a trance.
