Kurpe plot
The story is set in the late 1950s during the Cold War, when the white sand beaches of Latvia were part of the border of the Soviet Union. Every evening, Soviet tractors comb the coast of Latvia looking for signs of anyone who might want to cross the Soviet border from the sea. One morning, three Soviet policemen discover in the sand a woman's shoe and the footprints leading to the quaint village of Liepaja. Alarms sound, troops are dispatched and an official investigation begins. Like Cinderella, every woman in the village tries to try on the shoe, but the reward for a perfect fit won't be a Prince Charming...
