Nothing Can Stop Us Now
- Latvia Latvian National FF 2019 Latvian Film Prize
Ralfs may be the most controlling music producer you’ve ever seen, but now he’s losing grip on his career and family. His tough guy style no longer washes with his wife Madara or with younger musicians. A disappointed band breaks its contract in the middle of a recording session, but its youngest member, Emma, is mesmerized by Ralfs’ personality. Under-appreciated by his wife, Ralfs starts an affair with his admirer. He forces his wife, his teenage daughter and his lover to live together as a happy family. Although all four of them try to stay civil, beneath the surface poisonous passions are coming to a boil.
'Nothing Can Stop Us Now' deals with authoritarianism on the scale of a family. In a broader sense it addresses the crisis in masculinity and the change of the concept of family in the 21-st century. The film is a claustrophobic chamber-drama, where micro-plot and atonal musical nuances play important role in gradually revealing the true nature of the four members of the 'experimental family' where a dominant man has forced 'his' two ladies and teenage daughter to live together under one roof.
