"If a person doesn't go to church anymore, then the church should go to them," says Rinalds, a calm, smiling, young man with a good sense of humor. He is a priest from a small village in Latgale, Latvia's easternmost and poorest region, and the documentary Prīsters (The Priest) follows the routines of his daily life, his thoughts of life and religion and why he chose this path for himself.
This heartwarming documentary follows the vibrant journey of Latvian seniors in their quest for love. It chronicles the inspiring tales of individuals who, despite their advanced age, reject solitude and embark on courageous new adventures, embracing life's opportunities with open hearts. Along this extraordinary journey, some find new companions for meaningful conversations, while others discover travel buddies for exciting escapades. A fortunate few even uncover life partners. Through their captivating stories, the film delves into their experiences, where emotions mirror the turbulence of their youth, and where, even in today's digital age, life remains a reservoir of passion and zeal.
