The Synopsis

After spending her entire life in the family farmhouse “Cīrulīši,” Zelma is faced with the painful prospect of leaving her home and moving in with one of her children. As the family gathers at the house, long-standing personal and everyday problems come to the surface: her son Elmārs, a newspaper journalist from Riga, and his wife Gundega, a successful researcher; her son Raimonds, the chairman of a neighboring collective farm; and her daughter, a doctor who lives nearby. Deeply concerned for her children and reluctant to leave the home that has shaped her life, Zelma struggles to come to terms with the changes ahead.
