About This Movie

Zoryana Horobraya offers a raw glimpse into the lives of Zoryana and Edgars, just kids themselves at 17, trying to navigate parenthood in rural Latvia. The film captures the stark realities of life in a countryside where opportunities are few, and hope often feels out of reach. What stands out is the naturalism of their performances – you really feel the weight of their struggles. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the tension and emotion without rushing through it. The documentary's atmosphere feels intimate, almost invasive, as it immerses you in their daily hardships. It’s not just about poverty, but the human spirit caught in a relentless cycle. There's an honesty here that's hard to shake off.
