All four characters in the film were born on the same day as the Latvian state – November 18, 1918. Ella Steināte from Riga, Ignats Spridzāns, a farmer from the Viļāni region, Arnolds Dzirne, a veterinarian and retired lieutenant in the Latvian army, and Jeļena Vucane-Bicane, a resident of a retirement home in Latgale, each with their own destiny. Just as dewdrops reflect the surrounding world, their life stories reflect the history of Latvia.

Historical reenactment of preparation in Nov. 17 and proclamation of independence of Latvia in Nov. 18, 1918 and in epicenter is only taken photograph of this historical moment.

About the son of a Knight of the Order of Lāčplēsis, who rose through the ranks of the militia to become head of the Political Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Latvian SSR – Colonel Harijs Grundulis. About the invisible part of the iceberg of power that was under his control. About the behind-the-scenes goings-on that can now be viewed with a smile.
