An extraordinary and creative little girl attempts to comprehend the confusing adult world and to prove her own value despite her mother’s  lack of appreciation and love in late 1930s Europe. Confronted by her mother’s contempt for her, Bille finds an escape in her vivid imagination and looks for the Dreamland.

BILLE is a poignant yet inspiring autobiographical family drama highlighting the development of a grand personality who later will become one of the most celebrated female poets and writers in Europe. It brings the excitement and visions of childhood and a life-affirming story to the big screen, leading the viewer into the enchanted world of wonder and dreams.

Based on a best-selling novel by the candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature Vizma Belševica.
