WHITE BELLS (“BALTIE ZVANI”, 1961)
A poetic and, at the same time, realistic documentary about Riga, in which a little girl follows white bell-shaped flowers. The fact that this fictional film is also perceived as a documentary is largely due to the young cinematographer Uldis Brauns. None of the scenes that Brauns shot were impersonal or passive. It is, at the same time, a poetic interpretation of reality, contrasting a small child against the bustling city – a wonderful infusion of playful elements into a documentary format.

MMDan's link goes to another film of the same name. This is correct - it's kind of low-res but watchablehttps://ok.ru/video/13332318870
