Latgale is a land on the very eastern edge of the European Union. Sometimes this land seems like a land in the middle of a body of water. At other times, it seems a desert with the ark of rescued humanity all covered by sand. This is a film that tells the story of yet another Atlantis: a special part of eastern Latvia, a state within a state, Latgale. This land is vanishing. What is vanishing is its special way of existing that for centuries has been making this region remote and magical. This is a story about a vanishing culture and civilization, which is a natural phenomenon when a place loses its otherness. Not so long ago, this part of the Baltic region was quite different The number of Jews in the towns sometimes reached as much as 90 percent. Old Believers, having escaped persecution in Russia, established their colonies – strings of villages – there. Nowadays, Latgallians are embarrassed by their dialect, poverty and provincialism. Even Soviet history, which had thoroughly transformed this land, is vanishing. At the same time, there is spiritual tension in the air that is unlike any other place in Latvia: it is a mostly Catholic area full of the Orthodox, Old Believers and Jewish temple ruins. But perhaps this land, which tends to change so often will continue transforming in the homogenous globalized world? The film presents a land that is made by people, spiritual and physical extremes of living and thoroughly Christian resurrection.
