Paula un ceļš

The filmmakers learned about Paula Tisenkopfa's battle with breast cancer at her exhibition "Paštrokšņi" at Laubes nams. The exhibition was a true work of art, a bold story of a young woman's self-awareness during her illness, her attempts to overcome it and cope with the new realities of her life. The idea for the film was born. The documentary takes place shortly after the end of treatment, but the main character's life still revolves around doctor's appointments, MRIs, and hormone therapy. After her recovery, Paula begins a new life, witnessed by the filmmakers – a new home, new relationships, new projects and new challenges, including a week-long climb in the mountains of Nepal. Paula rediscovers herself, and the film's viewers get to know Paula together with her children, sister, and parents.
