The Wedding Day (Līgava), dir. Marta Elīna Martinsone, 100’, musical, Latvia
Cleo is a once promising actress in her 30’s with a career in theatre that’s going nowhere and a boyfriend who still harbours the dream of becoming a famous rockstar. She spends her days in a bohemian haze of booze and ennui, until she meets a legendary theatre director who is on the lookout for a new muse. He offers Cleo the biggest role of her career - The Bride in Federico Garcia Lorca’s “Blood wedding”. Cleo tries to turn her life around, but her co-depended boyfriend starts to slip back into his old, self-destructive ways, and the director wants from the actress more than just her talent. Cleo is torn between two men who want her to fulfil their needs and a profound need for self-expression and freedom.
