Sent Away at the Russian Border in Lithuania..

About this film
Pedro Mota’s film is part of the Europe – Netherlands to Baltics series. In Šilutė, the account turns toward a motorcycle ride to the ferry for the Neringa peninsula. The description presents this long sandbank as comparable to Hel in Poland, setting the journey within a coastal landscape as well as a border story. The ride’s central interruption comes near Nida, where customs guards send the travellers away from the border area.
The journey
From Šilutė, the riders head toward the ferry serving the Neringa peninsula. Near Nida, they explore the border by Kaliningrad and Lithuania, but are turned back by customs guards. The journey then takes in the dunes and beach, and ends the day with a night in Juodkrantė. The film’s travel thread is shaped by this combination of motorcycle movement, coastal exploration and a restricted border area.
