Homeland again

It has been estimated that about 90 thousand Estonians fleed to the West from Estonia during the World War II. More than 21 thousand Estonians repatriated or returned to their homeland. Among these people were very few those who returned voluntarily – most were forced to go back to "the red paradise" by democratic countries in the West. The filmmakers meet several Estonians who have returned to their homeland.
