Tallinn Spiced Sprats. The Canned Tales (2011)

Original title: Tallinna kilud

Feature film | Other categories Duration 48:00

Playful tale of fantasy about the city of Tallinn told by the stories of local people. The stories of the living and the dead, memories and urban legends, children and skeletons meet here. The almost one-thousand-year-old legend of Tallinn brings all these seemingly different tales together. Manor owner Johann von Üxküll was executed in Tallinn in 1535 for killing peasant Mattis. 12 present day residents of Tallinn reconstruct this old tale in front of cameras – the story about justice and equality.
