Short fiction film with documentary elements, Slush is a drama about friendship that adds colour to life, even when February weather turns Riga grey. Two emotional worlds, two inner rhythms, two guys who meet by chance and search for understanding of the world and friendship in the noises and sounds of the city. Their sonic collaboration makes the overall structure of the film akin to a musical composition and introduces Riga from a perspective never seen before.
