A film-monologue whose main character is painter Džemma Skulme (1925-2019) – a strong and socially active personality, a beautiful and intelligent woman. At the time of filming, Džemma held all possible titles of the Soviet nomenclature – People's Artist of the Latvian SSR, Chairwoman of the Board of the Artists' Union of the Latvian SSR, Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Arts – but the filmmakers see through this official veneer and see a woman who paints, loves, and actively participates in life. All the events of the Awakening are still ahead, Džemma Skulme's invaluable place in the history of Latvia's new era is only just beginning to emerge, and here we see how it all began.

A Calling to Care is the inspiring story of 55 year-old Grace Stanley, a Canadian nurse who left her home and prestigious career behind to answer a calling halfway around the world in Karachi, Pakistan.

However, Grace challenges her own values and belief systems to find common ground with her students, helping them to excel and feel respect for themselves in a culture that doesn't respect them. Whether it is getting her hands painted with henna, swimming fully-clothed in the ocean, or marching bravely with them on International Women's Day, Grace bonds with her students in a very special way, and ultimately discovers how the West can learn a lot more from the Third World than she ever thought.

Poster for Once in the Morning

1981 · ★ 9.0 (1)

One morning a small pretty duckling Krya-Krya went for a walk. He was still very stupid, but because he was friends only with his own shadow, he decided that no one needed him anymore. Humming a merry song, the duckling played with a ball, and it seemed to him that the shadow from the wall perfectly discards the ball. The chicken was so eager to play with the duckling too, but he roughly pushed him away. The same fate befell the sweet little goat. And then, having plenty of fun, the duckling ran through the meadow and accidentally fell into a deep dark pit. Oh God. It was so scary and damp, and most importantly, his best friend - a shadow was not going to help him out. It was simply not here.
