š Overview:
The epic film is based on the motifs of Vilis LÄcis' novel "The ZÄ«tari Family". The tragedy of the ZÄ«tari family is a model of Latvian national history. With the beginning of World War I, the patriarchal way of life of Captain Andrejs and his wife AlvÄ«ne, their children KÄrlis, Ings, Ernests, Elza and Janka changes, with years spent at work and in rare, modest celebrations. KÄrlis voluntarily goes to the front, Ingus disappears without a trace on long sea voyages. Not wanting to live in the territory occupied by the German army, the ZÄ«tari evacuate to the distant Altai region. The unusually difficult living conditions and the drastically changing political situation of the post-revolutionary period also affect each member of the ZÄ«tari family. When the opportunity arises to return to Latvia, Andrejs and AlvÄ«ne are no longer among the living. The old sailor's nest has collapsed and the young ZÄ«tari are no longer able to preserve their father's house - all the property is stolen.
