The Assistant (Asistente), dir. Liene Linde, Alise Zariņa, 7x45’, Latvia, 2024
Lulu is a young woman working in the real estate business, but in her heart she longs for a career that’s more suited to her idealistic character. By chance, she meets Gerda, who gives her the opportunity to do social work and really help people. But the job turns out to be more challenging than she thought. As she engages in the complicated work of saving the world, Lulu breaks up with her boyfriend and moves back in with her mother, who is herself trying to start over, and her cynical grandmother, who ruthlessly criticises the professional and romantic lives of both women.
