The film was made as a tribute to Latvia's centenary thanks to financial support from the Ministry of Culture. The story was created in the summer of 2017, following three young people of Latvian descent born in the US as they attempted to work and live in Latvia while participating in a summer internship program created by the American Latvian Association (ALA). The short documentary film offers a glimpse behind the scenes of a personal story - what is it like to move to Latvia when you have lived abroad until now? Imanta herself tells the story of her return to her grandparents' homeland through video and photo documentation in the short film. She has been living in Riga for seven years, where, after working as a teacher at "Iespējamā misija" (Mission Possible), she now works at a growing Latvian start-up and sings in the music group "Imanta Dimanta un draugi" (Imanta Dimanta and Friends).
