The Crossroad

The expectations and worries, the joy and the grief of the residents of a small street in Riga, far away from the town centre, make up the subject of Seletskis' film The Crossroad. The street is a microcosm, where the people are swayed back and forth between customs of a new era and the old familiar country habits. The Crossroad is a human film, intertwined with daily events such as meetings, discussions, and partings. With a trace of humour and poetry, it offers a refreshing outlook on the Soviet civilian's life. (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam)
