During the winter of 1991 in Riga, 18-year old Jazis’ life is fraught with complications.
Even though Latvian national independence has been restored, the Soviet Army is still
very much present in the country and Jazis is at risk of being conscripted and sent to fight
in Afghanistan. In January, when the Soviet special services and military units attempt to
overthrow the newly independent government, people start building barricades around
strategically important buildings, and Jazis finds himself at the centre of events. Jazis has
never taken an interest in politics. He is preoccupied with “more important” things – bohemia, girls, and films. He does not actively participate in the barricades but is rather pulled
into this festival of life and death by circumstance. There is another issue – unbeknownst
to him, Jazis might have become a father. Or maybe not. Uncertainty is what most precisely
defines public consciousness in the early 1990s in Latvia
