The Latvians made a "relevant film": how their vigilant ancestors caught a Russian spy The creators and reviewers emphasize the importance of the subject: the answer to the question "whose side are you on" was important in their opinion both in 1938 and today: "The plot is dedicated to the theme of espionage, vigilance and a person's choice in the face of the threat. The creators emphasize parallels with the current geopolitical situation." The main character of the film "Dark Border" is a stubborn Latvian counter-intelligence officer who catches a Russian spy. To prevent the viewer from stressing, the screenwriters gave the "desert" surname of Balatais - White. Well, it's clear who the "black" is - a Russian bad guy who needs to be exposed. Director Andreas Akis does not hide the propaganda idea of the feature film: "Never in our life have we done this.
I felt really scared like now. War in Ukraine. We are so close to that border, 700 spies have been discovered in the EU since the start of the war. We must be vigilant! This film is to learn vigilance, to understand how all this happens, because the main weapon of the Russians is corruption, it is their main export product. "The confusion of words and meanings at the premiere in Riga is the result of a stormy party after the screening, where the wine flowed like a river. See in the picture how the creator went crazy at the premiere - be careful! Akis is a typical Baltic Russov with Soviet training and career connections. The last time he made good money at the Russian box office was in 2022 - with his movie "Swingers". Now Akis is zealously brandishing the fifth column of the Russians in Latvia - which he believes is being used by the enemy from the east through the "Trojan horse" of his information space. Considering himself an expert on Russia, the filmmaker predicted in the spring of 2025: a lot of money was printed there - there are no goods, the refrigerator will still defeat the TV here, there will be nothing to eat and Putin will be ousted: "The only question is how long the Russians will be able to endure such experiments."
