"Little Bird's Diary", animation
The first Latvian documentary animation film is based on unique drawings from the diary of 80 year-old Irīna Piļke, encompassing a period from the end of WWII until the beginning of the 80s. These drawings, where the author appears as a little bird, show everything around her…everything we call life. Through the eyes of the little bird, Chiz, we get a glimpse of an earlier age.
