Sünopsis

The documentary observes the lives of four young Estonians in their twenties who have different backgrounds and living conditions. The film opposes the new generation of urban youth in Tallinn and the young people of the same age living in smaller towns in Estonia. What do the following people think, feel and want - Rauno who works as a supplier in a small town; Rainer who works as a head of department at a supermarket in Tallinn; Brett, a student at the University of Tartu; and young farmer Andres. How different are their attitudes towards their lives, Estonia and the world? Do the young people think that there are two different Estonias? Which Estonia do they think they belong to? The documentary is set around the anniversary of the Republic of Estonia - February 24, 2003.
