Bille (2018)
Latvia. Late 1930s. Bille lives in a world where the poor have their streets and the rich have theirs. She has learned to cope with poverty but is deprived of her mother´s love; relatives take care of Bille but keep reminding her regularly that she is a good-for-nothing who won´t achieve much in her life&. This hurts Bille, but the girl has a dream - to prove herself and break loose from the bondage of feeling inferior. Bille´s personal growth passes through complex and tragic stages of Latvian history.
