The End of Milk (2013)

Original title: Piimariik

Documentary Duration 29:00

Today's milk production in Estonia moves to the direction of big cattles and automated farms. Rein Külama still runs the archaic small diary farm. Together with his wife they take care of their cattle themselves and sell milk to people. Already for the past twenty years Rein has had a ritual – twice a week he drives through Maardu and former summer cottages district in order to sell milk. Despite the fact that there are raw milk automatic stations in supermarkets, the old-fashioned milk selling still has its magic and the clientele.
