Youth Eternal is a coming-of-age story about a group of millennials who start to face their self-destructive tendencies as they each head straight into their crisis of thirty-somethings and embark on a journey to embrace responsibility.
It is summer, and a group of millennials is at a music festival, relishing their seemingly carefree lives, while their close friends, Ieva and Alex, are embarking on parenthood. Kitija is suffering from depression and fails to find support as friends start to become more alienated from each other. Anna is trying to take care of her mental health by quitting weed, which turns out to be a challenge to her relationship with Kaspars, who grows it in their house. Unable to influence Martin's self-destructive lifestyle, Dainis starts to document it on video, becoming a participant and a creator of a reality show of his own. The friends start a wild journey into the new reality of becoming responsible for themselves.
Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A.
