Naughty Emil (1985)

Directed by Varis Brasla

Overview

One of the iconic Latvian movies. Based on Astrid Lindgren’s book ‘Emil of Lönneberga’. A story of a little boy, Emil, who, according to others is incredibly naughty, but actually Emil is a lot more kind hearted than all the rest. And everything he does is to help someone. But somehow it all the time turns out like a prank. His family won’t agree with any pranks on themselves, so there goes Emil in his father’s tool shed, where he’s locked up for every prank. Includes the phrase - ‘the main idea is to keep your feet warm’, which has been adapted in Latvian culture, so it’s already a saying.

Length 67 minutes
