Not as yellow as the poster looks

There are no ups and downs to this movie. It's kind of a contemplation on a subject of getting older and having relationships at the same time. Do people change, do their values transform? Some humour goes along with it. And a poor delivery of sound with numerous f-ups by the soundman. Overall, considering it's a low budget movie made in Latvia, I'd say it's pretty good. But on an international level I'd give it a solid five out of ten. The drama lacked spice to me.

Romance in Latvia

This was a gem. The film remained true to its origins including traditional Latvian celebrations and focused on a generation that didn't learn Russian. The storyline was set over three years so you could see the evolution of the relationship of the main characters. It was funny in moments with some cynical lines spoken by the female lead. What was novel was that the female lead was more experienced in love than the male.
