The Joys of Midlife (1986)
Original title: Keskea rõõmud
Two well-off married couples (Pille and Tõnu, Silva and Hubert) have reached the understanding that something is wrong in their lives. They pin their hopes on NIgul, the famous healer living in southern Estonia. Together with Helena, who is better equipped with esoteric knowledge, the couples set off for a cross-country car trip on a nice summer day. They are being warned during their journey that the healer won't change their lives in a second. When arriving at their destination, the couples will face an unexpected surprise.
