    • Quotes

      Signe Baumane: I sit at a living room table patiently cutting a sign that says 40 out of coloured cardboard. Her husband is turning 40 and this is a surprise party for him. The sign I'm cutting out is pretty meaningless on the scale of the Solar system. Tomorrow it will be thrown out in the garbage and forgotten but today it connects me with people. As the guests come in I show them where to put their coats and point them to the bar. We chat, we laugh. I move the muscles of the mask that covers my pain, it becomes a face again. The feeling of warmth and love melts a small part of my pain. I am a tiny particle in the bigger body of humanity. Acknowledging it and extending my hand to other people saves me from slashing my wrists with a kitchen knife.

    A narrated and animated story about mental illness in the family

    I got this film because I watched the 2022 My Love Affair with Marriage, which is the same animation style and the same narration and which I liked a lot. This one is not as fun, but it's just as good. It's honest, it's raw, but also funny in a strange way, that thing which happens when someone is overly sincere and you can't help but be amused. This one focused on a family in which mental illness is common, narrated by someone who has similar symptoms.

    What might put you off is the simplistic drawing and/or the Latvian accent narration of a text. It's basically someone reading a short story with an animation in the background. But the text is good, I really enjoyed Signe's voice and accent and the animation is inspired. The subject of the story is, yet again (can I use that for the first film? Well, who cares, it's the second one I've seen), the personal life of a female character from Latvia, I assume inspired by Baumane's own experience.

    I recommend both films.
