In Latvian and Italian with English subtitles
In this gentle love story, longstanding postal workers and loving couple Ernests and Alvīne successfully figure out how to take advantage of a lottery scheme to fulfill their lifelong dream of traveling to Rome.
Having won the contest, they excitedly embark on their international holiday. However, it becomes painfully apparent to Ernests that his beloved Alvīne's Alzheimer's condition is rapidly worsening – an unfortunate reality that neither of them is ready to face.
The couple’s decades long devotion to each other will soon be put the test in those beautiful streets of the Eternal City they had always dreamed of.
This sensitive, moving cinematic gem captured the Best Latvian Feature Film of 2023 the annual national Latvian film awards.
