- This film is Jānis Streičs dedication to Rūdolfs Blaumanis – a fantasy peopled by the characters from Skroderdienas in their youth; names have been changed and the time has been shifted to a later date.
National consciousness awoke at the beginning of the 20th cebtury; the affluence and capability of farmers grew. The wealthy and proud R\udups, a thorn in the Baron’s side, becomes uncontrollable when struck by Cupid’s arrow. The old man will do anything for the maid Emīlija, but the girl is in love with his nephew, Kārlis. The fight for Em;ilija’s heart will alter the fates of both men, as well as that of the yong maid.
