Manny is a psychological drama about a young Indian woman who arrives in Latvia to work on her autobiographical novel. Events take an unexpected turn and the main protagonist, played by Indian actress Sonal Sehgal, finds herself in a consuming relationship, where reality is muddled with fantasy and the involvement of artificial intelligence. Besides Sehgal, the cast consists of Latvian actors, Jurijs Djakonovs, Dārta Daneviča and Egons Dombrovskis.
Manny is the first Latvian/Indian coproduction. It was entirely shot in Latvia, in less than two weeks. The film was financed entirely by Indian private investors
The film has already premiered in festivals around the globe, including the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival and the Indian Rajasthan International Film Festival, among others.
