Daila Rotbaha

A friendly rubbish collector going on his rounds through the city of Riga.

The film tells the story of the regime in the maternity ward of the hospital during the day from 6.00 - 24.00. Morning, women prepare for feeding, wash breasts. The nurse brings the babies, the mothers feed the babies. Mothers express milk with a breast pump. Women paint, file nails, receive milk, read letters, newspapers (large mourning photo of Leonid Brezhnev, photo of Yuri Andropov). A man under the windows of the maternity ward. Women having dinner. Dishwasher in the kitchen. Women dreaming - scenes in a hairdresser's, shop windows, the curtain of a theatre opening. At midnight, feeding the children again.

Riga - from a subjective perspective, as seen and felt by the film's characters - artist Biruta Delle, the family of violinists Dagnija and Uldis Sprūdži, baker Dzintra Knaute, and the film's authors.
