Zelta zirgs (2014): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2014, Zelta zirgs is a fantasy, familie and animation film directed by Reinis Kalnaellis, running about 75 minutes.

What it’s about. An ancient Latvian folk tale is the basis for this colorful animated feature in the tradition of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. A vengeful sorceress casts a kingdom’s princess into a deep sleep at the top of an icy mountain, where she awaits release from the spell that will destroy the land. Of all the men vying for the honor, the shy outcast son of a family of thugs is the most unlikely. Director Kalnaellis brings a playful sense of humor to the characterizations and adds zippy contemporary elements including a chorus of wisecracking crows. (Gene Siskel Film Center)
