Spring and summer are a great time to try something new on screen. This season, we’re bringing fresh Latvian originals that feel close to real life: sharp stand-up comedy, serious documentaries, relationship-focused reality, a dark comedy film about secrets, and a fast travel-music adventure made for a younger audience. These stories are different in genre, but they share one thing – strong points of view and clear ideas that are easy to follow. Below, you’ll find our new Latvian original movies and series, along with their release months.
J. Kreičmanis Stand-Up Comedy “Tears and Snot”
Launch on Go3: April
Comedian Jānis Kreičmanis has created a new stand-up comedy show titled “Tears and Snot.” The title itself already hints that the show will be about the disappointments that come with adult life. Kreičmanis builds his humor around the gap between what we imagine adulthood will be and what it actually becomes.
He talks openly about how things change with time: in youth, winter brings joy, but later it can bring tears when you look at the utility bills. He jokes about childhood dreams – having a cool car, sleeping as long as you want, never worrying about money – and how adulthood often turns into the opposite. Instead of freedom, it becomes a daily list of problems and impossible decisions. Do you go to the dentist, or fix the car? The humor is relatable because it’s built from real situations that many people recognize immediately.

Beyond the Prison Fence
Launch on Go3: April
Beyond the Prison Fence is a documentary series directed by Sandijs Semjonovs. It reveals the harsh reality of the prison system and society’s attitude toward offenders both in Latvia and around the world. The series takes a clear, critical look at how the current system works and what it means for people living behind prison walls.
This story is not only about prison itself. It is also about what happens when a person leaves prison and how society reacts. The series shows how quickly people label others and how difficult it can be to rebuild a life after punishment. At the same time, it looks for solutions – ways to improve life inside the system and ways to support social justice.

Life Is a Battle
Launch on Go3: April
Life Is a Battle is a new documentary movie about the development of the rap genre in Latvia and the artists who began their careers by taking part in the annual Ghetto Games competition “Brīvrunu batls.” The film looks back at winners from previous years and shows how many of those names are now recognized musicians.
The story highlights how a competition can become a starting point. Viewers will see how early talent, confidence, and raw energy can grow into real careers, real music, and real audiences. The documentary also captures a wider picture of Latvian rap – how the genre developed, how artists found their voice, and how the scene became strong enough to fill concert halls with hundreds of fans.

Celebrity Couples Daily Show
Launch on Go3: April
Celebrity Couples Daily Show is a reality-TV based format with a clear focus: each couple enters the season with a personal, emotional goal – not material, but relational. In the first episode, all four women meet, get to know each other, and share the current state of their relationships.
In the following episodes, each couple moves closer to their goal. Some will plan a wedding. Others will try to break free from the routine of everyday life with a newborn. The show follows the couples’ daily lives and relationship challenges, mainly from the women’s perspective, which creates a more intimate and personal tone.
Korea. Soulmates
Launch on Go3: June
Korea. Soulmates follows Latvian rapper Prusax, who teams up with his partner-in-crime Hwije (Korean, living in Latvia) for a no-plan sprint across Korea. Their goal is clear: record a song and shoot the video. The way they do it is the opposite of careful planning.
They move fast through the country, crash the wildest scenes, and mix very different energies – K-pop vibes alongside temple atmosphere. The show is made with a Gen Z and young millennial audience in mind: quick, bold, and full of moments that feel spontaneous and real.
