It is customary for delegations of all Latvian municipalities to go through the center of Riga with their collectives, municipal management, flags and pennants.

“Sunflower” was accompanied by a film crew led by director Paul Dombrovskis, who spent 14 days on the road. The short film is like a time capsule, where we can see what challenges the teams faced during their mission, and whether the joy in the eyes and hearts of children is as great as meeting at joint events throughout the week in Riga. The author and producer of the documentary film idea is Dzintars Dreibergs, the editing director is Inese Kļava, cameramen – Reinis Aristovs, Dāvis Doršs and Aleksandrs Okonovs, producer – Ilze Falkovska, film studio Kultfilma.
