The 1980s. Kārlis did his military service in Afghanistan and is now confined to a wheelchair. Before he left, he had fallen in love with the teacher Judīte, but she has now married a rich man...and poses nude for Kārlis' neighbour, the cynical photographer Rūdofs. Soon Rūdolfs is found dead, and Kārlis admits to having murdered him. But investigator Konrāds suspects that Kārlis is incriminating himself.

Latvia, 1939. As Europe stands on the brink of war, young flautist Ieva and illusionist Toms are swept into a passionate and turbulent love affair. Their relationship is further complicated by surgeon Duburs, who offers Ieva his heart and a different future. Set largely in Duburs’s beautiful garden, the film unfolds against the uneasy atmosphere of late-1930s Latvia, where personal desires and conflicts are overshadowed by a growing sense of danger. Through dramatic encounters and documentary footage, a nation waits in suspense, sensing that history is about to change its fate forever.

In a Latvian town where a factory employs mostly young women, every single man is suddenly in high demand. Freshly demobilised from the army, Kaspars arrives hoping to meet Marika, the girl he believes he has been corresponding with during his service. But Marika knows nothing of the letters—and Kaspars himself has been hiding behind a false identity. As the truth begins to unravel, a tangled romantic game takes an unexpected turn.

About the life and work of the famous Latvian poet Vilis Plūdonis.
