In the film “Somaholidays” we follow four characters of different generations, who at first glance engage in tourism in the mesmerizing Curonian Spit forest and its coastal dunes, or rather take part in a mysterious community reality show that explores the state of being on holidays. Through a collective ritual, physical fatigue, they are looking for ways to experience the state of “soma vacation” described in Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel “Brave New World”- a happy, intoxicated state, catharsis, a threshold to a more real reality. Will they all be able to find the doors of perception and leave a circle of memories and grievances without the artificially intoxicating substance that causes ecstasy and hallucinations called the “soma”?
