Mission Latvian. Designers

About This Movie

So, 'Mission Latvian' dives deep into the world of two Latvian designers, Ermičs and Nīmanis. You really feel the contrast in their approaches — one’s all about using traditional materials while the other leans into more contemporary ones. The documentary doesn't rush, it layers their stories like the earth they dig into. I found the pacing kind of meditative, almost like watching a creative process unfold in real time. The atmosphere is rich, with practical effects showcasing their work and making the whole viewing feel tactile. It's also interesting how both men share a commitment to materiality despite their different paths. It’s like a love letter to craftsmanship, and you can see the passion in every frame.
