Autumn Ball

According to the director of the film, Veiko Õunpuu, "Autumn Ball" tells about seclusion, lack of contact and inability to reach other people. At the same time, there is humour and absurd in the film; it is possible that some people among the audience can have a really good laugh. When speaking about the genre of the film, it can be said that "Autumn Ball" is a pitch-black comedy about solitude, despair and hopelessness.
