Criticism

" Episodic film, the five parallel run plotlines to the magical " developed Midsummer Night in the Baltics. More or less bizarre protagonists traveling in Latvia and experience strange encounters. The film lives of absurdly funny dialogue, good performers, the careful camera work and the allure of the Latvian environment. a pleasant comedy, even if it lacks a solid foundation narratives. "

"Just weird and wacky as the difficult content description is also this comedy of coming from Riga actor, screenwriter and director Alexander Hahn, who now lives in Austria. Although he could for his colorful fragmented episodic film, the stylized, incoherent and indecisive comes along, oblige a magnificent ensemble cast, but all the characters are so cliched oversubscribed that they be credible in any way. Since even the best acting does not help much. In addition, the theme used as a "magic fern " more than put on and keeps the six episodes in no way together. What remains in my memory: the often wonderful images by cinematographer Jerzy Palacz and one or the other successful gag ".
