Magnificent

A subtle Nordic thriller that tests the limits of loyalty and greed. Acclaimed Latvian director Juris Kursietis returns after the successful TV series "Soviet Jeans" with a new twist - a female protagonist and a special focus on music. For the first time, he does not involve a specific composer, but the film instead features stunning organ sounds performed by the German actress Johanna Wokalek, who plays the main character Anna. After an extraordinary performance in Germany, Anna's beloved life partner and partner, a successful businessman, is arrested in the light of a corruption scandal. The plot develops when the woman still decides to organize a grand birthday party in a private villa, where family and friends have been invited to, among other things, see the restored 110-year-old organ, or "queen of all instruments" in the local church. The film follows Anna and her coping with a crumbling reputation, moral dilemmas, false accusations and with religious uncertainty. The restless hand-held camera draws us into the whirlwind of his emotions when the foundation of his life collapses due to the arrest of his partner.Edvinas Pukšta
