    Karin and Riho have grown apart from each other after fifteen years of marriage. Riho is tormented by the fact that he has not succeeded in climbing the ladder of success and remains a casual labourer in a pig farm. Karin works in the same place as a veterinarian and she is tired of hearing her husband's unfounded promises and of soothing his feelings of inferiority. As parents, they are too engrossed in the maze of their own relationship to notice what is happening in the lives of their sons - until the younger son pulls off a trick that makes his whole family reassess their actions.

    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.
