The story is both funny and sad, it makes readers to think about "being stuck" in their lives and being unable to fulfill their dreams. Olga is not just a hopeless seller, who replaces reality with magazins' pictures. She is also a small centre of the neighborhood and an important person for other people to talk to and confide in.
For years now, the kiosk has been Olga’s home simply because her sweet tooth and monotonous life have made her larger than the exit. To distract herself, she reads travel magazines and dreams of being far away. An absurd occurrence sets her off on her journey.
In 2013 Anete Melece created a 7-minute long animated film "Kiosks" which ganed an international recognition and received more than 20 awards in several countries. The movie has been selected for more than 100 festivals all over the world.
