The Northern Star (Ziemeļu zvaigzne), dir. Kārlis Vītols, 72’, Latvia
The young aristocrat Nikolaus von Himsel, accompanied by his tutor Georg, embarks on a ‘Grand Tour’ of Europe to assemble a cabinet of curiosities worthy of admiration. However, attracted by the challenge of climbing Mount Vesuvius—a popular ambition among his peers—he rebels against his predetermined path. Along the way, he explores societal diversity, encounters remarkable individuals, and discovers his true passions. This journey of self-discovery shapes him into the naturalist and humanist he ultimately chooses to become.
