The film follows Knuts Skujenieks’s life through interviews with him and memories of his peers, emphasizing his rebellious relationship with the Soviet regime, which later cost him a prison sentence in a labour camp. Director Tontegode uses Skujenieks as a role model for every individual as well as the Latvian nation as a whole. His works have been translated into numerous languages.

The producers are still looking for new partners in both production and distribution. Production began in 2014 with a budget of 21,500 EUR. The premiere is scheduled for September 2015.
