Nepabeigta saruna par dzīvi, mīlestību un mūziku

Overview

The film focuses on composer Ādolfs Skulte (1909-2000) and his life story as told through his own memories, archival materials, and music. In interviews filmed in the late 1990s, the maestro recounts his life and recalls his childhood, his studies with Professor Jāzeps Vītols, his work as a teacher, his move from Kiev to Latvia, and his most memorable students – Imants Kalniņš, Mārtiņš Brauns, Vilnis Šmīdbergs and others – the creation of the ballet Brīvības sakta (1946-1950) and other important events in his life, which culminated in the Grand Music Award for lifetime achievement in 1999. Ādolfs Skulte is filmed by his son, cinematographer Gvido Skulte, and the composer's wife Helēna and grandson, artist Kristaps Skulte, also play an important role in the film.
