The exhibition is dedicated to writer and art theorist Viktors Eglītis, his second wife, painter and writer Hilda Vīka, and Viktors' sons, writer and painter Anšlavs Eglītis and musician and lawyer Vidvuds Eglītis, offering a story about the Eglītis family and those connected to it.

Viktors Eglītis had friendly relations with many Latvian modernists, which the exhibition recalls through portraits of Viktors Eglītis and his first wife Marija Stalbova by Jēkabs Kazaks, Konrāds Ubāns, Voldemārs Tone, Romans Suta, and Aleksandra Beļcova. The artworks on display are complemented by photographs and video recordings from this family archive.
