Mājas ceļa malā (2000)

The film offers a thoughtful, emotionally resonant look at life in the villages of Latgale, as seen from the road. The houses sit close to the highway, yet few truly connect with this unique way of living. The locals are warm and welcoming when you genuinely engage with them, but the essence of their lives remains deeply enigmatic. The filmmakers spent time in over twenty homes across Tiskādi, Poromonovka, Ružāni, and Silmale, sharing stories, celebrating joys, and offering comfort in sorrow. The result is a film about a world defined by isolation and remarkable strength – the Old Believer villages of Latgale.
