- Loving Latvian couple Ernests and Alvīne discover they can take advantage of a lottery scheme to fulfill their lifelong dream of travelling to Rome. As they embark on their international holiday, it becomes clear that Alvīne's Alzheimer's disease is rapidly progressing - a reality that neither party is ready to face. Director Elza Gauja handles this heavy subject matter with a light touch, focusing on the conspiratorial banter and bickering of the central couple, whose relationship is defined by decades‐long devotion. Latvia and Rome are photographed with cosy warmth and vivid detail in this funny and tender drama.
