剧情介绍
The struggle of two related families for the eighty-year-old aunt's inheritance through comic and romantic events.
Another iconic Latvian film, known to be one of the best movies of director Janis Streics. When old auntie Mirta succeeds in a lottery and wins a car, which she cannot use herself, different family members are suddenly there to 'be helpful' in favor to get the car after aunties' death, not to mention, they never have come before to help her. The funny rivalry between two parts of family, a foolish jealousy to the near living peasants' family, which had always non-selfishly been there for auntie, is a caricature of greasy human nature. This is a slight humor of the Soviet life details as well. But aunt Mirta isn't fool, and is still young in her heart until her last minute, that appears in her last will - to whom the car, the limousine in the color of St. John's night goes.
3.5stars。整體觀感好像一部“鄉土電影”，但是一點也不土，對城鄉人之間的觀念衝突、家庭婚姻觀的論述還挺有意思。貍花小貓的好幾次出現都在劇情上起到提示的作用，也成了一個小彩蛋。
