I Need A Soloist

“I Need A Soloist” (Latvian: Vajadzīga soliste; Russian: Нужна солистка) is a feature film directed by Gennady Zemel, shot at the Riga Film Studio in 1984.

Musical comedy, in which the vocal and instrumental ensembles "Opus", "Eolika", "Dalderi" and "Livas" took part. The vocal parts of the main characters Evia and Janis were performed by Mirdza Zivere and Caspar Dimiters.

Plot
The Estonian musical group “Masks” from Valga can win a prestigious competition, but for a number of reasons the musicians have no opportunity to get together on time. The recently disintegrated musical group "Beavers" from the neighboring Latvian city of Valka comes to their aid. For the few hours that remained before the performance, the guys managed to put together the full squad and win the competition.

At the award ceremony, the organizers learned that the rules for the competition were formally violated. Without questioning the quality of execution, it was decided not to award first place. But this decision did not affect the excellent mood with which the musicians had just performed. In addition, for both soloists, these sudden concert chores served as a wonderful pretext for building relationships.
