A two-part documentary story about Latvian theater prima donna actress Lilita Bērziņa and her century. An attempt to answer the question: how did time and people shape their idols? On the one hand, she was a darling of the public and a model citizen, whose political naivety is still the subject of backstage anecdotes. On the other hand, a tragic personality with an unsuccessful marriage and an unfulfilled personal life.
