"Varmācības Meditācija" (well, the Latvian title actually means either "meditation on violence" or "violence's meditation" and I don't know how the author chose such English title) shows a young man's life dramatically changed after his friend is murdered. It is ironic - if to look with today's eyes - and nostalgia evoking portrait of marginal society and environment in the early 1990s with allusions to the western cinema - film noir related themes, surrealistic features, avantgard cinema stylization and formal aesthetics.
