The Latvian-Italian co-production, staged by Fenixfilm and Albolina Film, will be ready for release in spring 2022. Latvian filmmaker Linda Olte is now preparing her first fiction feature, a drama entitled Sisters. The story, penned by the helmer herself, follows two sisters, 13-year-old Anastasia and nine-year-old Diana.

Anastasia, on the other hand, has mixed feelings. She is hoping to live with her biological mother, who makes a sudden return to their lives. The film’s main cast includes Emma Skirmante, Gerda Aljēna, Katrīna Krēsliņa and Iveta Pole. The technical crew members are DoP Aleksandrs Grebņevs, production designer Laura Dišlere and costume designer Sieglinde Michaeler. Shot in Latvia and Italy in both English and Latvian, the movie’s.

At its heart, Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, is a Cold War paranoia thriller. It’s about two CIA Agents: Palmer and Gagano. They need to destroy a computer virus called “Soviet Union”. To defeat it, they must enter the Psychobook Cpu system – is it a Game? a Virtual world? Both? But the mission turns into a trap and film’s focus shifts to Gagano’s neverending search for a way back to ‘ our reality’.
However, on the surface, Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, is a discombobulating, absurdist narrative. Imagine Salvador Dali meddling with the rushes from Thomas Cappelen Malling’s Norwegian Ninja (2010) or Duchamp getting hold of demos for I Am The Walrus by The Beatles. Just don...

All Agent D.T. Gagano (Daniel Tadesse) wants is to retire from the CIA and help his love Malin (Gerda-Annette Allikas) open the best kickboxing joint the world has ever seen. Maybe he’ll hone his pizza-making skills and put a pizzeria next door too if all pans out. Before that dream can come to fruition, however, he’ll need to complete his most dangerous mission yet: securing the so-called “substance” from a computer virus known as “Stalin” (Guillermo Llansó) who’s using it to take control of the virtual reality mainframe Psychobox. Gagano and Agent Palmer Eldritch (Agustín Mateo) might escape with their lives if Commandant Rebane (Lauri Lagle) doesn’t screw them over by following George H.W. Bush’s questionable orders. Or they may end up lost forever within this digital hell.
