Jolly Old Farts (2009)

Original title: Emumäe Eedi ja Lobi küla Kristjan

Documentary Duration 28:29

An old film director and a cameraman share a secret - when out of work you'll have to have fun and turn your own life into a film. And who would be a better partner than an old colleague and a friend. Their endless quarreling is typical to Estonians - one constantly tries to outdo another.
