A self-help film cocktail of 1/4 Riga Black Balsam and 3/4 champagne, with a dash of dark humour.

To film or not to film? What’s worthy of a film? How do you become a good director? These questions plague wannabe director Marta as she struggles to capture the strange images, worlds, characters and emotions that haunt her.

Strongly influenced by Lars von Trier and his film “Epidemic”, Marta feels that her life is pretty shitty. She imagines herself to be the best, convinced that she deserves a national award stolen from a real director, Liene, who makes a cameo appearance as a bloody, nasty boxer in “Lotus”. Marta dreams, pretends, manipulates and indulges in fantasies, committing a victimless crime through various cinematic mediums. We can only speculate how much of the biting sarcasm reflects Liene’s real life.

This witty, amusing and sexualised satire explores the delusions and turmoil behind the scenes of filmmaking, leading to naughty, embarrassing and poetically orgasmic illusions. This surreal journey includes Black Velvet and even a talkative Cat.
