Documentary by Peeter Tooming about the problems in a village of Hiiumaa island and about the three "old school" workers who live in the island.

But the focus is on three local craftsmen – Aaser Erik who makes small carts; Aadu Kõrm who makes various items for horses (a maker of bits, spurs, and metal mountings for bridles and saddles) in his workshop; and Evald Hanikat who weaves baskets. These are men who express their regret that there won't be anyone whom they can leave their skills and tools to.
