The Dark Border

Feature film, directed by Andrejs Ēķis, 120 min, thriller

The events of this fast-paced spy thriller take place in 1938 and tell the story of a journalist named Baltais, who is sent on a secret mission to the border area to prevent the possible transport of a Russian intelligence pilot to Russia with information that threatens the security of the Latvian state. During this mission, Baltais uncovers other secret plans of the Soviet spy network and learns what true friendship, trust, and betrayal are. The question of which side are you on resonates sharply with later historical events and with the present day as well.

The lead role, Lieutenant Baltais, is played by Jēkabs Reinis. Starring: Vilis Daudziņš, Kaspars Zvīgulis, Santa Breikša, Kaspars Znotiņš, Elizabete Milta, and others.
