Step into the pages of history with this compelling drama that chronicles the life of Alicija, inspired by the real story of Ita Kozakevica—a Polish-born journalist and politician who left an indelible mark on the late 1980s Latvian independence movement.

Amidst the transformative era in Latvia, Alicija, a free-thinking and charismatic individual, rises to prominence within the People's Front, becoming a star of the Latvian National Awakening. However, as her achievements soar, so do the complexities and difficult choices in her private life. This film unfolds against the backdrop of societal change, masterfully capturing the personal challenges and sacrifices woven into the larger narrative of a nation in transition.
