"What stood out for me," concludes Bensch, "apart from the
variety of amazing locations, was the hospitality and the
good sense of humour we found, not to mention the amazing
food we had wherever we went—a taco place in a field in
Latvia, fine dining in a pop-up restaurant in a disused water
power facility, a harp
concert in a brand-new
concert hall that just
opened for us to have
dinner… They really
outdid themselves!"

"Historically, all the Baltic states were invaded by various powers,
which led to a wild mix of styles and architectures. Some areas
look like pre-WWWI Germany, others like communist-era Russia,
some areas could stand in for France, others for Scandinavia. For
filmmakers, this is a treasure trove."
