Umbilical Cord
Directed by Patrīcija Prūse
To fulfill her dream of opening an animal shelter, Gundega worked as a strip dancer and purchased a property where she, together with her mother Iveta, began building a new life devoted to caring for animals. This is a story of three generations of women — Iveta, Gundega, and Gundega’s daughter Ronja — revealing how interests, traits, and affection are passed down from one generation to the next, forming an invisible yet enduring bond between mother and daughter.
