Springtime in Crow street is a musical story about love, honour and forgiveness. Janka, a Riga suburbian lad in his dream manages to save Zelma even from a fire, and gets decorated with medal – a button that has been flattened on tram rails. Will he be courageous enough to stand up for his love in the eyes of everyone in the yard and park, where there the Indians from the neighboring street are lurking?
