This poetic documentary reveals the beauty of the Baltic region’s most notable Baroque garden throughout the year. From the magnificent parterre flower beds and bosquets to the splendor of the rose garden, the camera allows viewers to explore Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli’s original garden design and the landscape of Rundāle Palace throughout the seasons.

Director Pēteris Krilovs has created many significant documentary films and theater performances. At the same time, for more than thirty years he has been an outstanding teacher of acting, who has trained almost a hundred actors, as well as being a teacher to many film and theater directors. Awards winners at the Spēlmaņu nakts (Actors' Night) ceremonies have often expressed their gratitude to their teacher Pēteris Krilovs, as a significant number of Latvia's most prominent stage artists are his students.  Several of Krilov's students' diploma performances have become legendary and unforgettable events in the history of Latvian theater. As Pēteris Krilovs concludes his active teaching career, the film attempts to explore his method of acting, which has allowed the talents of so many brilliant actors and directors to flourish.
