Synopsis
The first Latvian documentary-animation film is based on unique drawings from the diary of 80-year-old Irina Pilke, encompassing a period from the end of WWII until the 1980s. These drawings, where the author appears as a little bird, depict everything around her. Irina's observations of everyday life in her drawings are vital, slightly ironical and incredible reflections of the time period. She seemed to accept life as it was in the Soviet time, and made no attempt to depict anything as overtly political or ideological. And yet that period's absurdities are clear from the daily, social and political details in her drawings.
