Ever since the ice  age,  skis  have  been  an  irreplaceable  tool  for  humans,  but  due  to  global  tendencies  skiing  has  changed  a lot taking us to –  urban  skiing.  The  main  character  reflects the events that skiers have to face in their quest for adventure, overcoming the  boundaries  and  stereotypes  set  in  society.  The  film  is  a  peculiar  mixture  of  genres,  which  allows  the  boundaries  of  reality  and  fiction  to  merge.  Storyline  is  dominated in two sides – a space where the main character lives and the other 50 locations over Latvia and Estonia. Movie surprises the viewer with breath-taking urban skiing action. The filming is done under challenging circumstances - pedestrians, police...., and the operators mostly have only one chance to capture the frame.

Playfully avant-garde and exhibiting an intriguing sense of humor, PIZZAS offers a puzzle of widescreen imagery, brash pop moments, and road movie ambience. Pakalnina, Latvia’s best-known director, spun this cryptic but airy comedy/tragedy from a news item about two 18-year-old fast-food workers who robbed their employer’s safe and split.
