Stones on the shore, crusted with sea salt, like loaves of bread; the letter U drawn on a school blackboard in the shape of a fish; first-graders scratching with their pencils, and their fathers hauling nets of live fish through the night; a pram rocking, and the unease of the sea. The Salt Bread is a lyric sketch of the working days of Latvian fishermen, grown out of newspaper reportage: Frank built the film from his own photographs for the paper Rīgas Balss.
