Cezars Kalnins, portrayed by "Latvian Harrison Ford” Uldis Pucitis, installs telephones by day and composes pop songs by night. The puritan Soviet censorship deems Cezars’s lyrics "unsuitable and frivolous” and "unfit for the Soviet youth”. In fact, it can be argued that this assessment matches the opinion of the Soviet cinema authorities in regard to this film as a whole, since "Four White Shirts” was immediately banned and released in cinemas only in 1986. The creative boldness and stubbornness, evident in both Cezars’s bitingly ironic verses and the film’s unconventional narrative structure and fresh, new-wave-inspired mode of expression, turned out to be equally problematic for the hero and for the film itself, as well as for its director whose representation of the actual mechanisms of Soviet censorship ended up too realistic for his own good.

Human attempts to understand why when acting they are all going through the heart, but in real life are playing a role.

Gaidiet "Džonu Graftonu"

В основе сюжета - действительные события, происшедшие в сентябре 1905 года. Гапон вместе с эсерами на пароходе «Джон Графтон» организовал перевозку оружия в Россию, закупленного, как позже выяснилось, на японские деньги в Европе. При не выясненных до конца обстоятельствах, возможно здесь имела место провокация, пароход сел на мель, и революционерам удалось получить лишь часть оружия.

The colourful musical comedy Maritime Climates could have been a triumph of smart political satire – if people in positions of power hadn’t got worried by the rushes they saw, which lead them to terminate the production. In 1992, Rolands Kalniņš made this edit of the remaining material – an elegy to lost hopes and illusions.
