Movie Description
On the eve of World War II, six-year-old Bille lives in a world where the rich and the poor walk separate streets. Bille has learned to put up with poverty but not with the constant lack of her mother’s love. Relatives take care of the girl but keep pointing out how oafish she is and that nothing good can come of her. It hurts Bille deeply and her dream is to prove herself worthy and free herself from feelings of inferiority. This autobiographical family drama, based on a best-selling book by the award-winning Latvian author and Nobel Prize candidate Vizma Belševica, brings the world and excitement of childhood and visions of a child to the big screen.
