Streichs also tried to tell stories through his films, aiming to find understanding with the viewers and ultimately satisfy them.
One of Streichs’ notable works, “Limousine,” has garnered several touching moments, which he considers a great prize in life. The film has received high praise, including being featured on TV every year in Jāņis, a testament to its popularity.
