Pēteris Mālders was one of the most mysterious Latvians of the previous century. The Year Before the War follows his tragicomic and surreal journey through Europe on the eve of World War I, through a time when the world was changing. Although the plot revolves around a conspiracy that the young man is trying to solve, his quest takes many twists and turns that entangle him in real historical events and brings him face-to-face with a number of well-known historical figures, like Lenin, Freud, Stalin, and Trotsky. Most meaningful, however, is his meeting with the love of his life - the passionate muse and free-thinking anarchist Alma. The film is an interpretation of the history of Europe, telling the story of the decay, the beauty, and the absurdity of its ancient culture
