A bit similar documentary to "The Road to God Knows Where". This documentary also have a continuation. The name of the second part is "Vai viegli būt..?"/ "Is It Easy to Be?". The first part of the documentary is taken 1986 but the continuation was taken in 1998. "Is It Easy to Be Young" tells about high-schoolers looking for their places in life, a young mother worried about the future of her daughter after the Chernobyl catastrophe, a young man believing in Krishna (being religious was generally discouraged by the Soviet government, not to mention any 'unusual' religions), young adults returning from having been forced to fight in the war in Afghanistan and having become ones of 'the lost generation'.
This docimentary got several awards.
The direcor of the first movie is Juris Podnieks, but the second on is directed by Antra Cilinska.
