A phenomenon of Latvian cinema history, this beloved domestic comedy has repeatedly been voted the greatest Latvian film of all time in various polls and has enriched modern Latvian folklore with countless memorable quotes and dialogues.

When elderly countrywoman Mirta Saknīte wins a Zhiguli car in a lottery, her home is suddenly flooded with relatives who had previously shown little interest in her. Until then, Mirta’s only real support had been the large neighboring Gilučs family. Her nephew Ēriks, along with his wife and son, as well as her former daughter-in-law Olita with her husband and daughter, would all love to get their hands on the car. Each tries to win Aunt Mirta over to their side, but before her death she remembers her youthful admirer, Pigalu Prīdis.

Movie in Latvian with subtitles in English.
