Original title: Sügisball

2007 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Veiko Õunpuu

The drama directed by Veiko Õunpuu is based on the novel "Autumn Ball" by Mati Unt, telling the story about the residents of a dormitory suburb who are more or less connected to each other. All of them suffer from loneliness and complicated relationships. This is Õunpuu's first full-length feature film that has received several acknowledged festival awards and was chosen the best Estonian film of the last 20 years.

According to the director of the film, Veiko Õunpuu, "Autumn Ball" tells about seclusion, lack of contact and inability to reach other people. At the same time, there is humour and absurd in the film; it is possible that some people among the audience can have a really good laugh. When speaking about the genre of the film, it can be said that "Autumn Ball" is a pitch-black comedy about solitude, despair and hopelessness.
