The Space in Between

The Space in Between tells the true story of Nina, a Latvian woman born at the beginning of last century, whose life is impacted by both World Wars and the Russian Revolution. Although strong ties with her brothers and, later, her husband help create some footholds of normality in the chaos around her, they can do nothing to protect her against the tragedy of loss and displacement, the two harsh realities of war and exile. Several times, Nina wonders whether it is actually possible to decide over one's own life or whether everything is already predestined. She asks herself if there is a point where God intervenes, or if He simply looks on while forces labelled 'good' and 'evil' struggle with each other for dubious supremacy.
