Melodramatic movie with colorful elements of comedy and songs that have deeply rooted in the Latvian folklore. Love triangle - terminally ill university teacher, blind girl and young bard. In the background - wild arrival of the capitalism, political conflicts, city life and beautiful nature of Latvia. In the end love conquers everything though not everybody lives to witness that.

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.

In this movie (based on a true story) within a movie, a director tries to film the tale of an old KGB activist living in a parish house. In the summer of 1941 the activist tortured and killed Latvians in the cellar of the house. Although the old man hires others to brick over the cellar door, the murdered people keep coming through the stones and never leave him in peace. Unbeknownst to the film makers, the "real" KGB activist, now an aged drunk, is milling about the film set. Moreover, the director and lead actor are competing for the love of the lead actress, and the film's producer wants the director to re-shoot parts of the movie.
