Walker on Water

Original title: Vetelkõndija

2022 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Anu Aun

A documentary about being a woman, told through the life and work of Estonia’s most beloved and internationally most known contemporary poetess Kristiina Ehin.

There’s a character in poetess and prose writer Kristiina Ehin’s book “The Last of the Monogamists” who walks on water. This person is looking for two things in life – love and truth.
