Where to watch Termini (2024)

Story

This documentary observes the quiet moments that unfold at bus stops across Riga as seasons shift. Through the lens of everyday commutes, the film captures passengers moving between destinations—heading home, to work, or simply going about their lives. Alongside travellers waiting and watching, the camera finds street vendors, cleaners, and drivers whose work forms the backbone of these urban spaces. The film transforms these ordinary transit hubs into windows onto neighbourhood life and human connection.
