The Man and the Dahlias

After his mother’s death, Dzintars Bumbiers (34) struggles with the large collection of dahlias he has inherited. Dzintars made a promise that he would keep the garden. How-ever, the reality strikes with new challenges and the dahlias hide his contempt. Dzintars considers the commitment to the dahlias is the reason his mother left her sons aside as they were growing up. As a result, two of his brothers have died, one is in prison, while Dzintars was bullied as a child and can’t start relationships with women.
