Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film applies methods commonly used with actors to real people and the world at large. The main characters Erik and Daniel are out on the streets of Riga preaching the Gospel and their understanding of the modern Christian lifestyle. Although friends, they assume radically different idealist and materialist views. The film is a grotesque and simultaneously real story about people who are trying to reconcile fanatical faith with worldly desires in the face of the demands of life in the rat race. “But the Hour is Near” (2004) focuses on contemporary human confusion, phobias and the search for God. The film sparked a lively public debate; fast becoming the most talked about Latvian documentary film of the year. It was awarded the prize of best Latvian documentary at the National film festival ‘Lielais Kristaps’.
