Synopsis

Sincerely funny story about being a man. Two Estonian and two Latvian guys from post-Soviet garages are sharing their deepest thoughts, life’s philosophy, pursuit of happiness and wish to love and to be loved. During the performance you could find out quite many answers to important questions. Like how to make something useful from old plastic bottles? How to quit smoking? Who thinks faster – Estonian or Latvian? How to win a woman’s heart if you have just a piece of paper?  What is the philosophy of an empty toothpaste tube?

Elmārs Seņkovs, a recognized Latvian director, focuses on a strange garage space, a place that was a shelter both for the homo sovieticus and for the new citizen of the democratic republic. The action of 'Two Garages' takes place simultaneously in Estonia and Latvia and presents a story of young men who reach adulthood just as their countries win their independence. What if both the old and the new world seem foreign to you? How to reconcile opposite social expectations, life goals and conspiracies? What if the inherited father’s garage seems to be the only safe haven?
