Sniegs
Snow Crazy
Laila Pakalniņa
How can you ski in a country without mountains? Well, ski-crazed Latvians have found the solution: they jump off roofs or have themselves pulled by mopeds. Sniegs is a portrait of winter athletes giving vent to their passion – in defiance of natural hindrances and against all logic.
