Three Baltic Love Stories: Mattias and Ann. Estonian Spring 1991

The Estonian love story takes place in spring when people were dreaming and singing about freedom and took down the monuments of Lenin, but there were still Russian fighter airplanes flying in the sky. A young Estonian dissident is released from prison and returns to his hometown Tartu. When he arrives at home, the man finds out that life has changed and his loved one has found a new man.
