The jury noted that the film will need additional funding for the production stage.

24 Hr Sunshine, with a planned length of 100 minutes, is expected to be released in 2018. Shooting will take place in Latvia, Russia and Norway.

24 Hr Sunshine will be a hyper-realistic drama about a successful but stressed executive, who starts feeling like a prisoner of his life and material wealth and suddenly leaves it all to join a group of tourists heading to the North Pole. This seems like a symbolic solution that will let him start life anew, but the journey turns into a long and worrisome string of events. He accepts a challenge and joins a Guinness-record obsessed gang to reach the North Pole on foot.

Poskus’ first and second films were awarded at international festivals and he received a best directing award for his debut film.
