In Aid of Life (1988)
Original title: Aidake meid elada
The life of Kalev Raave - a well-known head of an agricultural holding, member of the Communist Party and a social activist - is turned upside down at some point. Raave has been awarded orders and medals; yet, in 1986 he was taken into custody because of an anynymous letter. His case is to draw attention to the torments caused by the authoritarian administration of justice; as a result, the people necessary for society will be suppressed. When Raave left the prison, he found his path to God and started to study theology.
