The Brazen (Bezkaunīgie), dir. Aik Karapetian, 79, Latvia, 2023
Helēna arrives with her family at her deceased entomologist father’s summer cottage, which she hasn’t visited since childhood. Her tyrannical husband, lecturer and psychotherapist Rihards and their two children help her renovate the house so she can hold dance classes and restart her career as a choreographer. The sudden discovery of insects at the house will bring a horrifying experience, but only a tragedy from their past will wickedly challenge them to save their family bonds.
