With unyielding energy thundering through frozen ground and loose mud in a laundry field, the spirit of music. Between the open sky and the clay subsoil, five white women of destiny arrive. Here the spirits of the breath form mythical outlines, magical milk rains and the sweetness of the sound bursts forth. On the ground stage between Drustie and Jaunpiebalga, in the reliefs of the open-air art space "Savvalia", film artists, actors, associates and "Tesa" drillers of heavy soundscapes gather around the artist Andris Eglīti. As the psychedelic muffles of the music swell and the natural lights are veiled, its gamblers arrive at the monumental altar of nature...

I love that this is a musical film directed by Nature herself. This is also confirmed by its creators - minus five degrees of frost, smoky wet wood fires, nine cinematographers (the brightest camera masters of different generations), an amphitheater dug into a clay hill, extensive and intense filming, a group covered with a few snowflakes and wild wilderness. It is an exposition of director Olte's ("Upurga" (2021)) poetic crossing of genres in the open air, in which, in addition to the textures of the month of November, the recognized heavy instrumental music trio "Tesa" has won the main role. A unique audiovisual and alchemical legend in which, in Nietzsche's words, "man is no longer an artist, but has become a work of art", will experience its world premiere.
