THE MOVER
Dir.: Davis Simanis
Latvia
2018 | 87 min.
Historical drama
Hardly anyone would have predicted that Žanis Lipke would miraculously become a hero. He was a completely ordinary Latvian blue-collar worker. In order to be able to support his family under wartime conditions, he worked at the German military aviation warehouses and supplemented his income by smuggling at night. This film attempts to answer the question whether Žanis’ courage stems from his adventurous and daring spirit, stubbornness, or a sense of responsibility towards people in need.
In Latvian, German and Yiddish with Latvian and Russian subtitles.
