š Overview:
A story about EmÄ«lija BenjamiÅa, the āqueen of the pressā in interwar Latvia, whose wealth and tragic fate have since become folklore. The filmās narrative covers the period from the beginnings of EmÄ«lijaās magazine AtpÅ«ta (Recreation), to her arrest and slow demise in a train en route to Siberia. The most prominent clairvoyant of the time - Eugene Finkās prophecy that EmÄ«lija would die from starvation in a foreign land (which served to be true) weaves through the narrative as a red thread. With this strong woman at the centre of the story, the film shows Latvian society in all its richness and gives the audience the opportunity to meet many well-known historical figures.
