About This Movie

Iecirknis is a curious piece of documentary filmmaking from 1981. It paints a vivid picture of daily life in Old Riga, focusing on the oft-overlooked garbage collection process. The film's atmosphere is surprisingly warm, largely due to the central character, Gena, a friendly garbage truck driver who connects with the locals. It’s not just about waste management, but about community ties and the small, often unseen roles people play in their neighborhoods. The pacing is gentle, allowing moments of genuine interaction to breathe. You can sense the charm of Riga as Gena goes about his duties, and his rapport with the residents is heartening. It’s a glimpse into a world that many might overlook, yet speaks volumes about human connection. A distinctive piece, for sure.
