In the spring of 2020, during the Covid-19 crisis, the artistic director of the New Riga Theater, Alvis Hermanis, had an idea to make a series of feature films. Filming took place during the summer, and already in November of this year, viewers will have the opportunity to see a multi-series feature film “Agency” in ten series.
–
The film genre combines a psychological thriller with a detective, and its events will take place in Riga and Latvia in the summer of 2020. It is a story about a world that is suddenly changing again, and about the touching belief that everything on this world can be manipulated.
–
At the heart of the story is an advertising agency – a classic office where professionalism meets fatigue, romance and existential confusion. The catalyst of the story is a mysterious case that obscures everything that has been stable and promising so far. Detective intrigue unfolds in a close-up thriller, where there are probably no innocents.

Director Alvis Hermanis: “The target audience of the multi-series art film is most likely the viewers of JRT. And the characters of this film story are very similar to the viewers of our theater. It is a story about modern Rigans, it is a story about ourselves.”
