186 Kilometres (2007)

Jan Uuspõld is a talented actor who is not up to scratch due to his problems with alcohol. He makes up his mind to stop taking clownish roles and accepts a serious part in a play at Vanemuise theatre instead. His journey from Tallinn to Tartu becomes an unusual and in a way exaggerated voyage depicting the life and mentality of contemporary Estonia through various human natures, attitudes and ways of thinking. Next to the fictional characters numerous well-known Estonian public figures participate in the film, either as themselves or as performed by actors or other celebrities. The story of the main character has been inspired by the real events in Jan Uuspõld's life. The black comedy tells the dramatic and sad existential story typical to the Nordic countries.
