A sweetly wacked-out comedy made in Latvia, about a bunch of travelers who get off the plane in Riga just in time for the summer solstice celebration. It's like six or eight stories that separately wouldn't amount to much, but together kind of do. A sleeper the starts out slow and grows on you. Keep your ears tuned for a brief exchange that's straight out of "Casablanca", and watch out for the kangaroo.
