Upurga (2021)

Andrejs, a meticulous outdoor adventure guide, takes a film crew to a wild river valley for a vegetarian sausage commercial shoot. The enterprise suffers an unexpected setback as the crew goes missing. Little they know that in autumn the valley unleashes a strange, wondrous phenomenon whose reckless power does not spare even the locals. Finding the missing clients is no child’s play because he who seeks to find will lose himself.

Pedantisks piedzīvojumu gids Andrejs mežonīgas pierobežas upes ielejā pazaudē savu māsu un viņas kolēģus – filmēšanas grupu, kas tur ieradusies filmēt desu reklāmu. Viņi nezina, ka šajā ielejā rudeņos uzplaukst dabas parādība, no kuras neprātīgā spēka nav pasargāti pat vietējie. Atrast pazaudēto nebūs viegli, jo – kas meklē, tas pazūd!
