Midsummer Madness

Synopsis

An offbeat romantic comedy set in Latvia on the shortest night of the year - a night when the whole country goes crazy.
Curt, a young American lands in Riga looking for his Latvian half-sister Maia, hating the place from the minute he arrives. But events - and a very talkative taxi-driver - make him see things differently, so that by the time morning arrives he doesn't bat an eyelid when he sees a kangaroo being wheeled into hospital for treatment!
