FIre in the Night (1973)

Original title: Tuli öös

Based on the story "Fire in the Darkened City" by Eno Raud

Feature film | Youth Duration 68:15

Ülo and Olev think the German occupation is humiliating and the soldiers are arrogant. But even among Estonians there are people who cannot be trusted - this can have fatal consequences. Witty schoolboys find out that Mr Velirand, who has moved in the apartment that once belonged to their teacher, is a henchman of Fascists. The boys make up their minds to give people warning about the provocator, even if the rebellion is risky and their opponent superior, compared to the St George's Night Uprising in 1343.
