ĢIMENE UN DRAUDZĪBA

FAMILY AND FRIENDSHIP

Elīna Ļihačeva
Latvia, 2007, 14 Min
Ieva Pitruka

In this tale of a sporting if slightly dysfunctional family, the silver trophy awarded by the Soviet-Latvian shot-putting championships plays a fateful role. The newest family member is Bogdan, an exchange student from Ukraine, who survives a very close shave with a fork. It’s spoons only from then on, while meantime the hapless husband tries to trade names with his neighbour. The absurd situations keep coming – but laconic brevity wins the day.
