The Milkman of Mäeküla

Original title: Mäeküla piimamees

1965 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Leida Laius

The first full-length feature film directed by Leida Laius is based on the novel "The Milkman of Mäeküla" by Eduard Vilde, contemplating the moral choices of a man and a woman in an Estonian village at the end of 19th century.

When Baron von Kremer, the old owner of Mäeküla manor, starts liking Tõnu Prillup's young girlfriend Mari, Tõnu would not first hear of it. Then, the baron offers Tõnu a tempting deal - to become the manor's milkman on condition that Mari will come to see the baron when he invites her. Prillup has high hopes but unfortunately the milkman's job won't meet his expectations and he is more and more against sharing Mari with the baron. Tõnu expects Mari to loathe her double life, but she won't take the blame.

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
