County Court

Original title: Maakohus

2020 | Feature film, Short | Director: Eeva Mägi

When love has become revenge and a little child has left in the middle of it. When love has become revenge and a little child has left in the middle of it.

A short film by Eeva Mägi is packed with absurdity and tells a rather conventional story in a rather unconventional way. The film reflects a court drama where a mother and a father, two ex-spouses, fight over the custody of their 5-year old son in court. The whole court process takes place in the middle of a grain field and on that field the courtroom has no boundaries much like the mother and father whose actual goal is to exact vengeance on each other with no regard to the means used.
