Aina - the Egg Lady of the title - breaks eggs up to 20 000 by hand all day for a Latvian bakery company.
To an outside observer, the job appears meaningless when most similar enterprises can afford to automate such tasks. But Aina says her work brings her fulfilment.
She says that spending all day breaking eggs "allows me to think a great deal about life." This is the theme of the film - how Aina thought her life would be, how it actually is, and how she has reconciled dreams and realities to be happy with things as they are.
