Daina Stebere lives out in the woods in Latgale, Eastern Latvia, not far from the Russian border. She has to walk three kilometers to reach the nearest road, lives without electricity and running water. The roof of her house is in a state of collapse.
Daina’s small farm is self-sufficient in most areas and her days are filled with hard work. She fetches water, cares for the animals, milks her cows and goats, chops wood, keeps the house warm...
But she has time to remember - the two men in her life, her children, a difficult mother... Both her children have emigrated, her son to Norway and her daughter to Italy. As they come to visit their mother, many unspoken feelings and memories surface. Set in a magnificent country, Road’s End is a film on the choices we make in life, about love and obstinacy.
