The story

What Is Pizzas About?

The premise of Pizzas without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.

This playfully avant-garde film presents a puzzling blend of widescreen visuals, bold pop moments, and a road movie atmosphere. Inspired by a news story about two young fast-food employees who rob their employer’s safe and divide the money, the film explores themes of youth, risk, and unexpected consequences. Director Pakalnina, Latvia’s most recognized filmmaker, delivers a cryptic yet lighthearted comedy-tragedy.
