Escape Net (Lācis un Cālis. TTT leģendas dzimšana), dir. Dzintars Dreibergs, 90’, Latvia
How to screw over the USSR by playing basketball. A girl from Riga in the Stalinist era hopes to escape from the USSR by playing basketball and reunite with her refugee brother. Her dedication and love for the game move the entire Latvian nation and lead to the creation of the most dominant women’s basketball team in European history. When she finally sees a chance to escape, her decision to break free turns out to be a tougher choice than she had expected, as she feels torn between her love for her brother and her love for her nation. Based on a true story.
