POVZETEK

The second part of Ivars Seleckis' trilogy about Crossroad Street - an 800m-long street in the Pardaugava district of Riga, whose inhabitants, their relationships and fates, have served as a testament to changing times. The first film's action takes place at the end of the 1980s, when the fight for national independence begins in Latvia. Ten years have passed, and the filmmakers return to the small street in the outskirts of Riga. How have the lives of the characters we previously met changed since the regaining of Latvian independence? Land surveyors have passed through Crossroad Street - buildings have been denationalized, allotted, divided. Not only have the property rights of neighbours changed, but also relationships in several of the families.
