The Bash (2021)

Leo Vissak’s movie tells a story about a kid whose father hates fun.

Meelis (Madis Martin Kasterpalu), from Reola, wants to go to the local village party. When his father (Kaimo Suits), working on the farm’s roof, forbids it, a strange man (Markus Habakukk) appears out of nowhere with vodka and a smile. Meelis forgets his father on the roof and decides to get drunk alone instead. Just when Meelis’s father has gotten Meelis’s attention, the strange man once again appears. Meelis chooses the man over his father and gets drunk once again. The father now watches as his son slowly fades into the mist of inebriation.
