«Three Goodbyes» and «Totem»: New Films This Week About Farewells

This week, Latvian cinemas feature two new films that delve into the theme of farewell – from relationships, loved ones, and oneself. The first is «Three Goodbyes» by Catalan director Isabel Coixet. Coixet has been a prominent figure in Spanish cinema for several decades, known for her emotionally resonant storytelling.

The second film is «Totem» by Mexican director Lila Avilés. This is only the director's second feature film, yet it already cements her as a talented filmmaker capable of capturing more within the frame than meets the eye. Both films promise audiences a reflective look at life's transitions.
