Juris Podnieks | 79' / Letónia / 1987
United We Stand, Divided We Fall Retrospective
This movie speaks about young people who perished as a result of growing up in a totalitarian society - their conflicts with parents and adults, the patronizing attitudes of their teachers and the authorities, the fear that there is no meaning to their lives. A moving portrait of a lost generation just before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Film shown in NO(W) FUTURE / SEM FUTURO session.
