The 7th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! On November 8, see the gentle love story A Postcard From Rome (dir. Elza Gauja, Latvia, 2024). Latvian couple Ernests and Alvīne discover they can take advantage of a lottery scheme to fulfill their lifelong dream of traveling to Rome. As they embark on their international holiday, it becomes clear that Alvīne’s Alzheimer’s disease is rapidly progressing – a reality that neither party is ready to face.
“A poignant story… a magical micro-reality where one can actually win the lottery” (Cineuropa).
This film will screen virtually from November 9-17.
