Kuldīga Frescoes has a mosaic structure that brings together various observations on life in Kuldīga. The small “frescoes” are short novellas, often marked by a humorous tone. The film is a rare example of a Riga Film Studio production without a firmly defined script, which allowed the filmmakers the freedom to explore life in a small town, and to roam the streets and use footage creatively. Instead of voiceover, Kuldīga Frescoes relies on a soundtrack that combines music and creatively reworked nature sounds.
