Sünopsis

Residents of a bright green house in Mustjala, a small place in Saaremaa, tell about their hard life - most of them are constantly drunk. A few kilometres away, a great deep port is being constructed where a huge German cruise ship Lili Marleen lands, accompanied by fireworks and salute. German tourists can watch the performances of wedding games in Mustjala. However, construction of the port and the arrival of the white cruise ship won't change anything in the lives of local people. The residents of the green house will stay friends with beer and vodka. The documentary reveals a depressive truth that is behind an Estonian success story.
