Synopsis
Agris Sefers spent 10 years in prison, returned to Latvia, took part in the barricades, lives in an unfinished little house, and says “everything for Latvia down to the last drop of sweat and blood, everything for Latvia…”
In 1954, a riot broke out in Jezkazan, Kazakhstan. The men’s camp and women’s camp joined together and held on for 40 days. Then came the tanks that killed more than 1,000 of them. Austra Verpe met her future husband there. They were lucky to stay alive.
The dream of the musician Zigfrids Muktupavels was to find the grave of his paternal uncle in far-off Kazakhstan. He was named after his uncle, who never came home. Zigfrids and a cousin headed off into the steppes to look for a monument reading “Zigfrids Muktupavels.”
