The end of the 80s of the last century in Latvia, the winds of change can be felt in the air. The free-thinking, socially active and charismatic thirty-year-old Alicija of Polish origin has just happily married Ilgvars, a conservative mathematics professor twenty years her senior. Ignoring her husband’s concerns, Alicija, encouraged by her close friends and colleagues, actively engages in the activities of the Popular Front and runs for the position of a member of the Supreme Council. However, achievements also bring complications – Alicija receives an anonymous letter and is faced with a tough choice of whom to trust.
