Plot summary

Short movie directed by Liis Lindmaa discusses the role of a young woman in society and how it is viewed in traditional family values. “33” shows what happens when 33-year-old woman's priorities and values in life don't match the traditional expectations.

33-year-old Klara (Liis Lass) returns home on her 33th birthday. Since leaving home her priorities and values have changed, she has found her own path. However, nothing has changed back home. Things are just the way they have always been and being different from the community is out of question. Ambitious Klara contrasts traditional community values where women are first and foremost seen as mothers. Especially at Klara's age. The pressure and comments by others drive Klara mad. If in reality she can control her emotions, then in fantasy she lets loose and expresses violently how she really feels. But Klara too has a breaking point.
