A celebration of life and art. Hilarious. Heart-warming. Wild. Welcome to Riga in the 1930s where artistic circles and bohemian lifestyles are synonymous. Enter Juris Upenajs, a poor, young, ambitious man from the countryside who wants to make his mark in artistic circles. On the very first night at a crackling party he meets the love of his life. What rapidly unfolds is a string of unforgettable events, fraught with confusion and misunderstanding.
