In the middle of the twentieth century, Latvia was occupied three times. The Soviet Union invaded in 1940, Nazi Germany took over a year later, expelling the Red Army, and in 1945 Soviet forces returned, cutting Latvia off from the rest of the world until 1991. All three occupations meant terror, arrests and brutal killings of citizens. Thousands of people were deported to the farthest reaches of the Soviet Union, to Siberia. The land and people of Latvia were devastated. And all this happened only 20 years after Latvia's declaration of independence, which gave hope and growth.

Can someone whose home was destroyed, whose legs are not designed for a long journey, whose mouth makes no sound, and whose eyes shine? Can't he? However, Mick the bear survived, he survived. He was forced to plunge into the darkest darkness of the world, to experience the most unbearable cold, to find himself deep in the forest where bullets whistle - but he did not disappear, did not die. Because Mick knows that there is someone who thinks about him, who remembers him. There is someone who loves Mick, who loves him very much. Ieva loves Mick.

And Latvia loves Mick. And Mick loves Latvia. His ethnic homeland.
