My Family Tree
Una Celma / Latvia / 2013 / World Premiere / 71 min.
synopsis
The turbulent history of northern Europe as seen through the story of one regular family. Against the backdrop of actual events, Latvian director Una Celma unfolds an entertaining docudrama combining re-enacted segments with montages of archival and illustrative footage, all with an ironic and lightly educational narration.
The film’s dynamic flight into the past highlights significant historical details – for example, each push of the pedal of a rusty old dental drill helps paint a picture of the sorry state of healthcare in the former Soviet Union.
