Lūgšana par Zolitūdi

Ten years ago, on November 21, 2013, the Zolitūde microdistrict in Riga experienced the greatest tragedy in terms of the number of victims since Latvia regained its independence. As a result of two collapses, 54 people died and dozens were injured under the rubble of the Maxima supermarket. The rescue operation to find survivors in the rubble lasted almost 94 hours. Relatives waited with bated breath and prayed together with all the people of Latvia, who watched the unfathomable scenes of the tragedy on live television. So far, only one person has been found guilty by the court. The film recreates the day of the tragedy and seeks an answer to the question of why justice did not prevail, as this would bring peace to the souls of the dead and soothe the still festering wounds of those left behind.
