Latgale is a land on the very eastern edge of the European Union. Sometimes this land seems like a land in the middle of a body of water. At other times, it seems a desert with the ark of rescued humanity all covered by sand. This is a film that tells the story of a special part of eastern Latvia, a state within a state, Latgale. This land is vanishing. What disappears with it, is its special way of life that for centuries has been making this region so remote and magical. This is a story about yet another Atlantis, about its vanishing culture and civilization, an inevitable process when a place loses its otherness.
