Почему в лесах Латвии есть секретный город-призрак

There is a village in the middle of nowhere in Latvia - or what is left of it. Around 2000 people used to live in the town of Irbene, there were apartment blocks, parks, a swimming pool and even a club. But: The town was top secret for decades - hardly anyone knew of its existence. Today the old buildings are abandoned and dilapidated. What's the story behind this mysterious place?

A film by Matthias Schwarzer and Geraldine Oetken.
