The Bus

The Tallinn - Kaliningrad bus crosses three borders during one night. Estonian - Latvian, Latvian - Lithuanian and Lithuanian - Russian. It rides on the territories of four countries. The reason for the film about this bus is, at the very lest, because things are not as they were some times ago (during the USSR) and will not be like that in the not so distant future (when the three Baltic States will be in the EU).

The bus line from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, to the Russian city of Kaliningrad was opened decades ago, at the time when Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and also Russia were part of the Soviet Union — a society where there were no intra-country borders.

It is the story of one bus — its journey from Tallinn to Kaliningrad. The bus travels through four countries and the passengers exchange four different currencies ...

Poetic documentary directed by Rein Maran about Estonian nature, history and the present day.

How far can one travel in Estonia during half an hour? And to perform everything one has seen in a flowing poetic language? The essence of the times, places, nature and people taken from the summer of 1984 when Lasnamäe district in Tallinn was young, rural life in Estonia was blooming and people mainly drove cars made in Soviet Union. Were these truly the best years of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Estonia or did it only seem so? The red roofs of the Old Town of Tallinn have always been red; Tartu will always greet the Midsummer Day with ...
