Two brothers sharing a home must finally decide what to do with their lives. One pursues his dream of becoming a musician, while the other turns to selling weed.

With its compelling visual style and rich worldbuilding, “Taivas” tells the stories of individuals whose voices are rarely heard elsewhere.
