All trees are from "blessed are those", just the aspen is blessed by devil
all trees are blessed by God and silly, silly...
Among all those blessed by God the only one blesses by devil
among all the green folks
the only silver one feels sad.
When I was little, grandmother told me of Dreamland.
There was plenty of everything
and so everybody was happy and no quarrel was had, ever.
In Dreamland, everything was edible.
Candy was flying through the air and houses were from chocolate
and delicious soups were made in every home, every day.
Will you come with me to Dreamland ?
I'm fine enough here.
Because it's prettier and better elsewhere.
There's no such thing as Dreamland.
Bille !
Take the lunch for your father !
Well ? Are you going to ride ?
Steer !
Steer, steer ! Steer straight !
Good job !
Street, street ahead !
Run home now.
More !
I've got lots of work. Several rides still.
There you go. Run.
Tell mommy thank you from me, a tasty lunch this was !
And thanks to you for delivery !
BILLE
Have you already thought of a name for the doll ?
Yes, that one will be Saulcerīte.
We need just a head !
Just pick quickly !
This one ?
Alright. How much ?
One lat.
Mother used to be an apprentice to a fine modiste.
Mother could have become a modiste herself, and earn lots of money
then I was born.
But even before that,
it turned out that mother found it impossible to be around people all day.
She had nerves.
And so she stopped going out and being around people.
She did, however, marry my father.
Well ?
What kind of dress shall we sew for your princess ?
A long and white one, like Saulcerīte's.
Yeah, right ! You'll ruin it in a second ! She's getting a blue one.
Blue goes well with fair hair.
Later on, I'll make a white one.
Although in white, one can only sleep on the glass mountain.
Alright.
Sixty six.
Alright, you won this time. There.
More.
You're a goner anyway. What is that for a wage for a man,
eighty lats. And drinking that away, too.
When I had my own business...
Then you had and now you don't.
Alright.
Got to go and give the girls a beating.
What did they do ?
Nothing, just long since they got one.
Ausmas father was beating her when he was sober.
My father was only fighting when he was drunk,
if mother was coming at him too strongly.
A beast of a man.
Why do you talk to him, then ?
As soon as he doesn't like something, he takes it out on the kids.
He's right about your wage, though.
Will you, please, shut up this time ?
How long can this take, eh ?
We'll be late for the train !
Let's go !
Are we still a long way off ?
Quite.
Granddad will meet us ?
No, Krišs will.
His suit is just like that circus clown had.
Hush.
You should have put on that jacket. It's not that old after all.
Hot.
Hot !
You could have bought a new jacket,
instead of sitting in the pub !
It smells of fish here.
It does, indeed.
Fish !
Can't you tell sausage from fish ?
What are you !
You saved up the herring paper ?
As if you didn't know why I have to save !
Ventspils grandfather was my dad's dad.
After the crisis, dad was penniless.
He sold his shoes to buy the ticket.
He took the train to granddad's, barefoot.
Granddad called him a loafer.
And since then dad and granddad are mad at each other.
Žanis is coming !
What a big girl !
Come here ! A kiss !
Do you need my hand, too ?
Krišs, go and fetch water.
Krišs, I'll go with you.
Žanis !
Well ? You got guts, city boy ?
You think I haven't seen a cow ?
Go on, city boy, show what you got !
Go on ! Go !
Žanis !
Žanis !
Get off !
Still beating. Alive !
Fool !
Anybody home ?
Just me, grandmother !
What's new ?
Daddy was riding a cow, and he rode into the door,
hit his head. But he's alive.
The usual thing.
Didn't mother tell you never to touch the album ?
I didn't.
Learn to lie, oaf !
Just as I thought Empty house.
Come here.
Go to Banītis, buy a half-pound of butter.
Go on, go !
Grandmother is like a moon in a cloudy sky.
She appears and disappears all the time.
As soon as anyone says anything that she doesn't like,
she packs her suitcase and leaves.
To serve the rich folk.
But just as well, as soon as somebody spoke an ill word,
She took her suitcase and came back home.
But she did bring home the money.
Hello !
So, no little debt book this time ?
What are you going to buy ?
Half pound of butter, please.
Where did you get the money ?
Grandmother gave me.
Was your father paid already ?
I don't know.
And the change ?
Oh, the change ?
Maybe some candy for the change ?
Candy is bad for your teeth.
Mine isn't !
Tasty ! Will you take some ?
Next time your mother or father must come
with the debt book. Debts must be paid !
Goodbye !
See, how the rich live !
Let me watch !
But you're watching this for the third time !
- Bye ! - Bye !
Bille !
We're going to Spain !
Mum, tell me about the old times !
How old ?
The very, very oldest.
In the beginning people didn't know how to build houses,
so they lived in caves.
How do you know they lived in caves ?
Scientists have dug out, in the beginning, all kinds of bones,
human bones, animal bones, dish shards, different weapons
and then studied it and learned how the ancient man lived.
Quiet !
You got any broken dishes ?
I don't break dishes !
You should. We'll bury them in the ground for the scientists to find.
Who are the scientists ?
You won't understand. We need to do it, and that's it.
This is not enough.
Still not enough.
There must be something !
In the waste box ?
Even bums don't dig in the waste boxes.
I'm not going to either !
What a stench !
Just what we need !
Your dad is coming, quickly !
What's up, gals ? Building air castles ?
All that for me ?
Sure thing ! Go and have fun ! That's an order !
Three rides for us, please !
Three ?
Aren't you going to be sick ?
Well, alright.
- There you go. - Thanks.
Hold on.
Wipe your mouth !
- I'm sick. - Me too.
Let's go home.
Not yet. We're not bringing money back
Maybe we could buy some toy ?
We can't buy toys, either.
Daddy told us to live it up.
You've had enough, haven't you ?
It's for my mum.
Do you have to take it far ?
To Vārnu street. I'll run.
I'll put it in two cones.
I won't have enough for two
It's alright, a treat for good customers.
Thank you, thank you !
What is it ?
Let's run !
Slowcoach !
Mummy !
What is it ?
Thank you ! - You're welcome !
- Where did you get it ? - Daddy gave me two lats !
- Two lats ? - Two lats.
Isn't it enough you drink it away yourself ?
You dumped two lats on this rascal ?
The kid needs some joy, too.
D'ya think of kid's joy, when you drink everything away ?
Everybody needs a moment of joy !
So, I'm not everybody ? Don't I need joy ?
I just have to beg the creditors to wait. Rent unpaid, Banītis unpaid.
I can't look them in the eyes !
Everybody else's wives go to work ! But you !
The damned Gutmanis blood !
You have no shame ! You and your mother have ruined my whole life !
If it wasn't for my mother, we'd have nothing !
Let's go.
Let's go there !
Mum wants to get home.
What are you doing ?
Dad, dad !
Smells good !
What's this ?
Grandmother bought meat. We made you dinner.
Ah, how good !
Oh, happy day, sober for a change !
Soaking dishes again ? I can't stand it !
A house full of women, unable to wash a single cup ! Soakers !
It was mutton fat ! Now the sink will be clogged !
Goddammit !
All because of your constant soaking.
And cold water on top of it.
My fault. It's always me !
All you do is blame me ! I work like a horse,
all of you on my back, all of you nagging !
Now you'll have one soaker less !
Lets try with hot water. Wasting wood again.
And who is buying that wood ?
And who bought the meat ? My mother !
- Good evening ! - Good evening !
- Well, what are you supposed to say ? - Good evening !
Of course it's here.
I'm sorry, Madam, I made a mistake.
I thought there was water in the cup and poured it out, but it was fat.
You, Mr. Gutmanis, are prone to mistakes.
Sometimes you stumble into the wrong door.
We have respectable tenants here. They complain.
I'll have to evict you.
Go on, evict them !
Lots of candidates are lined up for this hole.
You can't even replace the light bulb in the corridor.
See, I'm leaving voluntarily. And they'll leave, on their own.
I'll call the plumber.
Tomorrow you'll get the bill.
How will we pay for the plumber ?
We'll have to get a lodger.
Forgive me.
Please !
Don't you know how to say hello ?
The one who comes in should say it first.
Keep quiet !
There, there.
Give me three hangers.
These are not removable.
- We made them ourselves. - Keep quiet !
I'll hang up and take them down when you'll need it.
This can't stay by the bed. It sucks away your strength.
But that's just aspidistra.
Alright, I'll take it elsewhere.
Move ! In my way again !
I told you So I don't see you again !
Get lost !
What is it ?
Mother kicked me out of the house and told me not to come back.
I'm told this three times a day. Moms never mean it.
Mine does.
She was kicked out.
My mum took a stranger, an old hag in my place.
Everything will be alright.
There really is an old hag there.
I have no place to live.
You can live here.
Under these boards ?
No. I'd rather die.
I'll lie in a white dress, in a little white coffin, like Saulcerīte.
And everybody will be sorry, even mum.
Still a long walk ?
Up to the forest. Then, behind the pines, there's Dreamland.
I'll starve to death before we get there.
We'll eat in Dreamland.
But to get in, we must first eat our way through
the sweet porridge mountains.
Such nonsense.
Are we going to stay there ?
We can stay. Or leave and come home in golden carriages, full of money.
Then your dad won't beat you anymore.
Was that a prince ?
See ? I told you we are close to Dreamland.
Let's go !
Show me that leg ! Let's put a waybread leaf on it.
I'm tired. I want to get home.
We have to go back.
But we are going to Dreamland !
There is no Dreamland.
- There is ! - No, there isn't.
If there isn't, why did you come ?
Traitor.
You will grow lonelier year after year,
your friends will leave you one by one,
a rare traveler will be a kindred spirit,
a rare flower will grow among the rocks.
Then,
even those will vanish, and your heart
by endless silence
will be strangled.
You'll find no peace among the icy peaks:
A shield of ice will cover you for good,
while all the human longings keep burning in your heart.
What does it mean, "longings keep burning in your heart" ?
It means longing after something
that you will never get.
Let's go back !
We won't make it in time.
If we aren't home by night, our mums will cry.
You're lucky, your mum will cry.
You think, your mum doesn't need you at all ?
No. You think, she is crying when me and my sister are beaten ?
It's easy for you to talk, you are not beaten.
Everybody wants me to die.
I'll sit here until I die.
We both will die.
Where do you live ?
In Vārnu street.
Quite far. I'll take you to Zemitāni station. Get on the cart !
Let me die, let me die !
Stop kicking ! You've torn your dress too,
you'll get a spanking at home.
Where were you going ?
To Dreaml...
We wanted to see what's behind the meadows.
No fairy land there, just some small pines.
And nothing else ?
Nothing.
And no big forest ?
There's never been one.
The old lady has settled in.
She will sleep in grandmother's bed.
I don't have to get lost anymore ?
Why ? Of course, not.
Good evening !
Why do you have such big nostrils ?
When I was small, my finger was constantly in my nose.
You'll have such nostrils, too.
What is it ?
Look at your mouth ! Go wash it !
And then to bed.
My mum said Dreamland was a fairy tale.
It's not a fairy tale. We just stopped too soon.
Me and Ausma, we are going again.
I won't go away from home again, it's so far away.
Will she no longer live with you guys ?
No, she didn't like that Ausma kept staring and staring...
Well, how do you like it ? Germans must leave now.
Very good ! Let them bugger off to their damned Fatherland.
Nobody wants them here.
Not all Germans are barons.
What will happen to economy if they close their businesses ?
It will ruin the government budget. Unemployment will grow.
I don't care. Let them clear off my land.
I haven't met a good German.
About Waltraut's family nothing bad could be said.
A German is a German. Let them go. We'll have more space.
Not good, not good.
Everything will be bust. They are rich.
That's right ! Fat from sucking our blood !
God damned barons !
Some fool you are, haven't got a clue.
What's the point in talking to you ?
There's no point talking to me ?
Gone. To beat his girls.
Will Waltraut have to go, too ?
All of them, daughter, all. And long overdue.
There's enough space. Why Waltraut ?
Don't meddle.
Go and read a book, about "Sprīdītis" or whatever
"Sprīdītis" is for small kids,
I'm reading "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" now.
Not tonight. We're getting up early tomorrow.
I arranged piano lessons for you.
What are you staring at ?
Maybe you'll get some sensible skills at last.
The Hunchback of what ?
Finger steady, springy.
Wrist relaxed.
Good hands.
Just a matter of practice.
Too bad you don't have a piano at home.
We have no space for a piano.
I know, I know.
Since the piano isn't available, you'll learn to write notes neatly.
Look here.
Whole notes, like dumplings. Like birds sitting on wires, yes ?
That's going to be your homework.
And this will be your music sheet folder.
Thank you. - You're welcome.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
- Here you go ! - Thank you.
Here you go !
None left
Lucky you ! You'll go by sea on the ship and see Germany.
When you learn to write, write us a letter, will you ?
I can write in block letters.
So, you can read, too ?
Yes, I can, both in Latvian and German.
You are not the only one here who can read.
What a nice purse you have !
My mum promised she would buy me a white dog.
AUSMA IS A FOOL
Is it expensive ? I don't know.
Waltraut will have a good life there.
She'll go on a beautiful ship.
She was nice to me.
Yes.
What a beauty !
I'm thirsty.
You'll get something at Milda's.
Must be nice to have more land than comprehension.
Is Milda your friend ?
We went to school together.
She didn't know how to dress or carry herself.
Myself, all boys were mad about me.
Come.
It's good both for farmers and the kids.
You mean president's kids ?
Yes, the kids in president's program.
Will you take Bille ?
At least I'll get a breather.
Weren't you told to look at the books ?
I don't look at such filth !
What filth ?
In our yard, boys draw such filth on the walls.
- It's indecent to look at it. - What are you talking about ?
There's a saying, applies to her perfectly,
not too pretty, but thick as a brick.
Alright, show me the filth.
The human body is beautiful. This is why artists paint nudes
and make sculptures of it.
One doesn't need to be ashamed of beauty.
When boys are drawing, it's filth.
Well, boys... Boys are not artists.
Look there.
What is ugly or filthy in her ? Her breasts ?
Legs ? Belly ? Everything is just beautiful.
Kids who were taken to farmers for summer
were called president Ulmanis kids.
Kids were well fed and farmers got some money for it.
Rodrigo was an Ulmanis kid, just like me.
We'll get a spanking.
We need to lay out the clothes in the sun to dry.
Then we'll be naked.
One doesn't need to be ashamed of beauty. Stop it !
A frog.
You're afraid of frogs ? Coward.
I'm not afraid of frogs. And you will have a baby tomorrow !
From frogs ?
No, but I saw you naked.
And that's where babies come from.
No. Babies are born from doing IT !
It's enough to see you naked ! Believe me !
You will have a baby !
If I have given birth by morning and Milda comes,
Mummy will yell...
It will be a disgrace, because I'm not married.
Dear God ! I don't want it. Please...
Nothing happened to me.
The day is not over yet !
- What should have happened ? - Nothing.
If I give birth now,
I'll take it home and say I found it.
They surely wouldn't make me return a baby.
- Bille, what happened ? - Nothing.
I'll have a baby !
What baby ?
Rodrigo saw me naked, so I'll have a baby !
What rubbish ! Who told you that ?
Rodrigo !
Babies don't come about from a man seeing a woman naked.
So I won't have a baby ?
No, you won't.
Babies are always born of love.
Do you think my mom loved my dad, if I was born ?
Absolutely loved, for sure.
But mum and grandmother keep saying,
if I wasn't there, they would walk around in silk and live better.
Adults sometimes talk such rubbish...
Debts...
Debts, debts...
Did you find something ?
Just the birth certificate.
Neither wed, nor the child christened...
Didn't I say one cannot live without a church wedding ?
Now the moment has come !
Don't start again.
Is it my fault you hooked up with that drunk ?
He didn't drink back then.
Living with you, even an angel would start to drink.
Why did you buy the textbooks, notebooks,
if there is no baptism certificate ?
So, the kid won't go to school now ?
I won't go to school ?
But I can read and count to a thousand !
There's no money for the dress cloth either.
What is it again ?
The school won't take Bille without the baptism certificate.
So, let's baptize her, and they will.
In what faith ?
Lutheran. Orthodoxy is out of fashion nowadays.
What are we going to eat today ?
Let's fry a herring.
A herring.
Fuhrer is right, but its a shame that good people are leaving.
Stellmachers have already left as well.
Who's going to have that apartment ?
You can have a look.
I'm not sure I can afford it.
We'll make a deal.
- Today I close at seven. - Yes.
Good afternoon !
- Good evening. - Good evening, good evening.
Didn't I tell you shouldn't come
without your mother and father anymore ?
You did.
Didn't I tell you I won't give on credit any longer ?
You did.
Alright, fine...
The last time.
There you go.
How will they baptize me ?
Well, the pastor is going to take you by your feet, dip your head
in a water tub and won't pull you out for a long time.
Stop talking rubbish. Stop.
Lutherans just draw a cross on your head with a wet finger.
All the congregation will laugh when such a big monster is baptized.
Let's call the pastor home.
But we don't have enough space.
Of course, there's no space. All your rags and herbs stuffed in every corner.
Those rags are bothering you here ?
When the rich sack you for your big mouth ?
I'll leave, I'll leave. You'll have space for your holy servant.
Stop it, alright ? Stop it.
We'll dress you up and baptize, alright ?
You don't even have a suit.
I'll borrow one.
Are you also going to borrow the treat for the pastor ?
I'll make a breadcrumb pie.
Alright.
Newspaper, take the newspaper.
- Hello ! - Hello !
- Come in ! - Thank you.
Hello !
- Hello ! - Hello !
What name would you like to have ?
Bille ! Bille ! Bille come outside !
My name is Vizma now.
Vizma ? Pretty name, Vizma.
Yes, Vizma.
Vizma.
What are you twaddling about ?
I'll change.
I'll change.
Yes.
Well then...
Let's baptize this child
according to the commandment and creed of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
- Sibille. - Sibilla.
Sibilla.
I baptize you in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Sibilla ?
I said I wanted to be Vizma !
- But we prepared a treat... - Some other time.
- Please, forgive us. - May God be with you !
Wasted money on cream and cinnamon.
Well, would you like a piece ?
Want some ?
Fool ! Every third girl is called Vizma !
Others don't have a name like you.
Others ? Others don't have to run to Banītis with a debt notebook !
Others are not rascals and oafs !
And others are good enough to show to people.
She'll snivel on the suit.
We'll have to pay for cleaning when we return it.
You'll ruin your shoes.
Walk like a human being.
Stop jumping ! You'll fall into water.
Listen to your mother.
Did you take the bottle ?
I did.
She won't lend us anything.
You think that your aunt Alvīne is better than the rest your relatives ?
If you ask the right way, she will.
I have to ask ? She's your relative.
If Alvīne doesn't lend us, I don't know what to do.
If she doesn't lend us money, will I have to miss school ?
God dammit ! Bille !
Oaf ! What did I tell you !
Great.
It's alright, hold it in the sun, it'll dry.
It's just water.
Bille ! Pick some flowers for the aunt.
Your tie !
Your hair.
Shoes, shoes !
A lock...
Is anybody home ?
Oh, my Vera...
Hello !
Žanis, too ! You've become quite stocky.
That your girl ?
- Bille. - Here you are !
Did you have to trample on the meadow ?
Is it your meadow ?
Mine or somebody else's. It's for hay, not for the city people to trample on.
Alright, come to the house since you're here.
You didn't come to the newborn party, so we came to show our daughter.
Newborn parties are a waste of time.
Babies are like piglets, all look alike.
Sit here.
Aunt Alvīne, a gift for you.
- Yes, here you go. - Here you go.
You shouldn't have spent money.
Sit here, while I do the soup up, I didn't plan for four eaters.
Sit right here !
I've got no meat, so I added rhubarb leaves.
But one doesn't need it during summer. In summer, the sunlight feeds us.
You've got good life if your girl is so picky.
We can't complain, truth be told.
Where are the servants ?
Are they free on Sundays ?
I don't keep servants permanently. No need to keep a crowd of strangers.
I hire hands by day and they come with their own bread.
Thanks for the meal, aunt Alvīne !
- Aunt Alvīne, we also wanted... - We didn't want anything.
If we ever decide to visit you again, we'll come with our own bread.
That soup was disgusting.
Didn't you hear what she said ?
That's why some people have nothing.
What little they have, they just eat right away, and that is it !
So, one cannot eat anything in order to have something ?
That's right ! You can't. In summer the sun feeds you.
People who have rich relatives will never perish, will they ?
That's right, that's right ! They'll live in clover.
Imagine...
Eating such rich rhubarb soup day in and day out !
I sleep in my coffin, pidiralla, pidiralla
I spit at the ceiling whistling !
What kind of spitting is that, pidiralla, pidiralla
When everything falls back. Pidi-ridi-ridi-rallalla !
Grandfather had a hard
I'm waiting for girls, pidiralla, pidiralla
Who will plant roses, Pidi-ridi-ridi-rallalla !
Stop fidgeting !
I want to see.
There's nothing to see.
I sewed from what I had.
Wear carefully, the cloth is worn out.
When you sit down, spread the dress not to crumple it up.
Got it ?
Sit down, sit down !
I'll help you.
What's going on ?
Her dress was pinned.
Who was sitting behind you ?
I don't know.
Did anyone see ?
Nobody saw a thing ?
No.
Already home ?
How did it go at the church ?
How did it go at the church ?
Badly.
Torn !
The new dress !
Go and take it off !
What good can become of such a rascal !
The new dress, on the first day !
In simpler cases, the lady greets a gentleman with a respectful nod,
smiles, extends her hand, slightly raised, so it is easier
for the gentleman to kiss it.
Girls, stop laughing, it's not funny.
You need to grow into proper ladies.
So, again...
Nod your head, smile, hand, kiss.
Head, smile, hand, kiss.
Head, smile, hand, kiss.
Head, smile, hand ! Bille !
What is that ? Like a rake ! Elegant !
Kiss.
Head, smile, hand, kiss.
And now we will learn obeisance.
Ready.
One, two, three, four.
Well and... That's how it's going at school.
You know what ?
I also can't do obeisance.
I guess I'm not a true lady
It is possible to get higher up in society by playing piano ?
Child, child... I'm sure it's possible.
Well, then play.
Bille, are you coming ?
I'm going !
Then wash your face !
Otherwise its a shame to go out with you.
Well, then don't, who's making you ?
And who's going to take her if not me ?
You just want to get her off your back.
You'd rather let her loiter around the yard with those rascals.
Moss will start to grow behind the ears.
Just not to the air show.
The kid shouldn't see how people kill themselves with airplanes.
If they kill themselves, I'll look away.
They're not crashing every time.
Yeah, right. Isn't the Forest cemetery full of them ?
They don't fly in the dark.
Look, every store is selling Ulmanis !
Shh, today is a National holiday.
Lets go on a tram ride !
Sure, let's go !
I'm also a Girl Scout. We're going on a hike tomorrow.
You'll finish at home. Put the blotting paper on.
And take your primer.
Mudīte, how do we read A and I together ?
Together.
AI. Read it as AI.
Bille ! I told you to have a book to read, don't disturb others !
And so A...
AI...
Let's listen: A. U. AU.
Together.
Bille, Bille, Bille !
Bille, when are we going to Dreamland ?
I have to go, I'm going on a hike with Girl Scouts.
But you promised !
I hit the ball into the lake,
I had to wade after it.
Take it off.
While I still have the soap water.
Skirt, too.
Yarrow ?
You want to get ill ? Drink ! No way you are missing school.
Don't dawdle, drink it !
You must get going to your piano lesson.
You'll wear my coat, it's not that cold outside.
Bille, come, let's play scientists.
Fancy pianist.
So did you wade into the lake on your own then ?
Yes.
So did you get that ball ?
Hero.
Yeah, right. A hero. Into a lake with her best clothes.
What is it ?
The food is not good enough ?
My head aches.
It's not hot.
But it aches.
Go and sleep it off. Sleep is the best cure.
If you don't want to eat, go to sleep.
Close the door.
No, leave it open.
In case she gets worse. She's fast asleep.
Guess what the teacher told me.
Bille is a gifted child.
- What ? - A gifted child.
Well, she has a good head.
You know what else she said to me ?
That we must see to it that she gets to higher places.
I'd like to know how she thinks we could do that.
Who thinks ?
The teacher.
What do you think ?
Need to think about it.
Well, then think !
With your santims for those champagne cork wires
it's only enough for the piano lessons.
But what next ?
If she graduated from the French lycee,
she could get into the diplomatic corps, become a big shot,
could see the world...
Then I have to become a minister to pay for the French lycee.
Then fold more of your wires since you're not a minister yet.
The sun...
You're seeing things.
The sun never shines through these windows.
You're sweating, it means you're getting better.
The Blue Danube !
You're doing it for me ?
Sold the wedding rings as well...
But now you've got the Girl Scout uniform.
I have no friends at the Girl Scouts.
And I can't even write neatly.
You'll learn.
Get well, alright ?
You'll have all the doors open for you.
You are gifted.
Sleep.
Where is Bille ?
Bille !
Little girl Bille ended up getting "higher in life".
She became a renowned poet and writer. Vizma Belševica was nominated
for the Nobel prize and her works are translated in many languages.
Wings, greatness and force will raise you above the clouds,
unaware, that the little grey dot down there is love.
BILLE
